      Forge FC will enter the 2025 Canadian Premier League season as the reigning regular season winners after having finished first and claiming the CPL Shield in the 2024 season. This was the club's second regular season title and sixth trophy in six years, continuing their dynasty. In the CPL playoffs, Forge advanced to the 2024 CPL final where they were defeated by rival side Cavalry FC, finishing as runner-up.
      The Hammers will also compete in the 2025 Canadian Championship, a domestic cup organized by the Canadian Soccer Association. In the 2024 edition, Forge defeated MLS side CF Montréal in the quarter-final. They were knocked out in the semi-final by Toronto FC, losing on away goals after tying 2–2 on aggregate.
      Forge qualified for the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup as 2024 CPL regular season winners. This is Forge's third appearance in the competition and second appearance in a row. In the 2024 edition, Forge faced Mexican side C.D. Guadalajara in round one, losing 5–2 on aggregate.
      Head coach and sporting director Bobby Smyrniotis is contracted to return for his seventh season with the club after signing a four-year contract extension in 2023.


      = Preseason

      =
      On November 21, 2024, CF Montréal declined its 2025 contract option on Forge loanee Matteo Schiavoni, ending his time with the Hammers; Forge later confirmed this in a December roster update. On December 16, Dominic Samuel and Forge together announced that the defender was leaving the club following the expiry of his contract at the end of the year.
      On December 12, 2024, Forge announced that Alexander Achinioti-Jönsson, Nana Ampomah, David Choinière, Elimane Cissé, Noah Jensen, and Khadim Kane all had guaranteed contracts through the 2025 season. The club later announced that it had triggered contract options for the 2025 season for Béni Badibanga, Christopher Kalongo, Jassem Koleilat, Malik Owolabi-Belewu, and Orlendis Benítez. Forge also triggered its 2025 loan option for Daniel Parra from C.F. Monterrey. Malcolm Duncan, Jordan Hamilton, Victor Klonaridis, Terran Campbell, Garven Metusala, and Sebastian Castello all departed the club.
      Forge opened its preseason in Hamilton in early January before traveling to Cancun for two weeks of training. While there, the Hammers played friendlies against Liga Premier club Inter Playa del Carmen and MLS club Orlando City SC. Béni Badibanga was absent from the team during this period as he navigated a contract dispute.


      = CONCACAF Champions Cup

      =
      Forge drew Liga MX side C.F. Monterrey in round one of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The match is noteworthy due to Monterrey's connection with York United FC, Forge's rival in the 905 Derby. This match was set to pit Forge loanee Daniel Parra against his parent club, Monterrey; however, Parra transferred to Atlético Morelia just days before the tie's first leg. Forge is looking to secure its first ever win in Champions Cup play.
