The 2025 Kelly Cup playoffs of the ECHL hockey league began on April 16, 2025, following the conclusion of the 2024–25 ECHL regular season and ended on June 7 with the Trois-Rivières Lions winning their first Kelly Cup championship over the Toledo Walleye in five games.{{cite web |title=Trois-Rivieres claims 2025 Kelly Cup title |url=https://echl.com/news/2025/06/trois-rivieres-claims-2025-kelly-cup-title |website=echl.com |publisher=ECHL |access-date=June 7, 2025}}
Playoff format
Since all 29 teams were able to complete all 72 games this season, the league went back to the points system, instead of the point percentage that was used the year prior. The top 4 teams in each division qualified for the playoffs based on highest point total earned in the season. The first two rounds of the playoffs are held within the division with the first seed facing the fourth seed and the second seed facing the third. The division champions then play each other in a conference championship. The Kelly Cup finals pits the Eastern Conference champion against the Western Conference champion. All four rounds are a best-of-seven format. The South Carolina Stingrays secured the top record, winning the Brabham Cup, and therefore scheduled to have home ice advantage for all the rounds they advance in.
Nine out of the 16 teams in this year's playoffs were participants in the previous Kelly Cup Playoffs.
Playoff seeds
After the regular season, 16 teams qualified for the playoffs.
