This is a list of player transfers involving RFU Championship teams before or during the 2024–25 season. The list is of deals that are confirmed and are either from or to a rugby union team in the Championship during the 2023–24 season. It is not unknown for confirmed deals to be cancelled at a later date.
No clubs were promoted to the Gallagher Premiership for the 2024–25 season. On 14 April 2024, Chinnor won the National League 1 for the 2023–24 season, thus promoted to the 2024–25 RFU Championship season. No relegations were made for the 2023–24 season due to the liquidation of Jersey Reds.
