They began the season by winning gold at both the 2024 Lombardia Trophy and the Tayside Trophy. Going on to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix circuit, they won the silver medal at the 2024 Grand Prix de France. They shared that they were happy with their first "big" event. “It is a much different silver medal here compared to last season," said Macii. "Last year, we skated poorly and lost the gold. This year it feels like we won the silver.” The team went on to win the gold medal at the 2024 Cup of China. “We’re so excited, this is our first gold medal on the Grand Prix!” said Conti.

Qualifying for the 2024–25 Grand Prix Final in Grenoble, France, the pair finished in fourth place. "The tension was so high because we know we can be on the podium or fall back, but it’s ok, it’s another competition," Conti said later.

At the 2025 Italian Championships, Conti/Macii won their second national title. Going on to compete at the 2025 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, Conti/Macii placed second in both the short and free program segments, winning the silver medal overall behind Hase/Nikita Volodin. In an interview following the event, Macii shared, "This silver means a lot. Last year’s Europeans were the biggest disappointment of our career, and we wanted to redeem ourselves. The podium was the goal. We knew the other teams were very strong. We are very happy we found our connection again. Last year wasn’t the same because our relationship has changed, but today it felt like two years ago again. We really felt the connection."

The following month, Conti/Macii competed at the 2025 World Championships in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The pair placed second in the short program and third in the free skate, winning the bronze medal overall behind Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kihara and Hase/Volodin. Delighted with the result, Conti shared in an interview after the event, "We’re so happy to be back on the world’s podium. There were some small mistakes today. It was actually quite hard to go out there today after such an incredible performance like the one from Minerva and Nikita."

Selected to compete for Team Italy at the 2025 World Team Trophy, Conti/Macii placed second in all segments of the pair's event, aiding Team Italy in winning the bronze medal overall. “It's a beautiful start for the next season,” said Conti. She added that they would be using Italian music for the Olympic season.

They subsequently competed on the 2025–26 Grand Prix series, winning the silver medal at the 2025 Cup of China. “I think we did a pretty good free skate today,” Macii commented. “It really wasn’t easy skating after the Olympic champions."

Two weeks later, Conti/Macii took gold at 2025 NHK Trophy. “It was a very big competition, like tension was so high today,” noted Conti after the free skate. “I feel it in all the elements, but I’m happy because every element was a very good fight."

The following month, they competed at the 2025–26 Grand Prix Final where they finished second overall for their third Grand Prix Final medal. "We are really happy!" said Conti, after the free skate. "We controlled everything, and I'm so happy that we are really all together on the ice. I feel like we are one person on the ice." Conti/Macii followed this up by winning their third national title at the 2026 Italian Championships and were subsequently named to the 2026 Winter Olympic team.

Following the Italian Championships, Conti sustained a knee injury and as a result, the pair withdrew from the 2026 European Championships. Due to this, Conti had to wear a knee brace upon returning to training and opted to wear one at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
