2024–25 Liga Nacional de Guatemala

Same as previous years, the season was divided into two short tournaments: Torneo Apertura (opening) and Torneo Clausura (closing), each of which crowning its own champion. Both Apertura and Clausura tournaments were played under the same format which consisted in a Classification phase and a Final phase.{{cite web|url=https://ligagt.org/ft/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/ACUERDO-CE-030-2022-REGLAMENTO-DE-COMPETENCIA-LNFG.pdf|title=2022 REGLAMENTO DE COMPETENCIA LNFG|publisher=Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Guatemala|website=ligagt.org/|date=7 July 2022|orig-date=Approved on 27 June 2022|access-date=5 March 2023|language=es}}

In the classification phase, teams played each other twice on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The top eight teams at the conclusion of the classification stage advanced to the quarter-finals of the final stage.

The final phase was played on a single-elimination format and consisted of the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the finals. All rounds were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-ranked team in the classification phase of each tie hosting the second leg. The quarter-final pairings were pre-determined based on the teams' final position in the classification phase. In the semi-finals the teams were re-seeded based also on their final position in the classification phase in order to determine the two pairings. The quarter-finals and semi-finals matchups were determined as follows:

Both champions of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments plus the best placed team on the aggregate table (excluding the two champions) at the end of the season qualified for the 2025 CONCACAF Central American Cup.

A total of 12 teams took part in this season: the top ten teams from the aggregate table of the 2023–24 season as well as two promoted teams from the 2023–24 Primera División season.
