The 2024–25 Utah Hockey Club season will be the inaugural season of the NHL's most recent expansion team, the Utah Hockey Club. They will play their home games at the Delta Center, shared with the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
As part of a deal that rendered the Arizona Coyotes an inactive franchise, Utah was established with the existing roster, staff and draft picks of the said franchise, in a similar move to the 1995 Cleveland Browns relocation controversy that established the Baltimore Ravens. The Coyotes subsequently ceased operations.
