Summary

Mumbai City FC officially began the 2024–25 season with the 2024 Durand Cup, where the club were placed in Group C, alongside Kerala Blasters, CISF Protectors, and Punjab FC. However, with the club choosing to conduct the squad's pre-season training abroad in Thailand, the senior team skipped the competition. The Mumbai City reserve team ended up competing for the club in the competition.{{Cite web |title=Mumbai City To Begin Pre-Season Training Camp In Thailand |url=https://www.mumbaicityfc.com/news/mumbai-city-to-begin-pre-season-training-camp-in-thailand#:~:text=With%20the%202024-25%20season,for%20their%20pre-season%20camp |access-date=15 January 2025 |website=Mumbai City FC |language=en}}
