Following promotion to Scottish League One the club's first friendly was announced on May 21, with Sons facing Hebburn Town on July 6.[2] On June 23 forward Marc Kelly, midfielder Luca Vata and goalkeeper Harry Broun were released. With new deals offered to Finlay Gray, Michael Ruth, Aron Lynas and Kalvin Orsi.[3] On May 29, forward Michael Ruth who had scored 15 times the previous season, signed a new season long deal with the club.[4] However midfielders Blair Malcolm and Callum Wilson both departed the club.[5] The same day the Sons were drawn to face East Kilbride, Airdrieonians, Aberdeen and Queen of the South in the Scottish League Cup.[6] On May 31 defender Matthew Shiels became the club's first signing of the summer, returning to the club for a third spell from Cove Rangers.[7][8]
June
Sons made a double signing on June 1 with Cameron Clark joining from Stirling Albion and Michael Miller from Broomhill.[9] Midfielder Finlay Gray[10] and winger Kalvin Orsi also agreed new season-long deals.[11] On June 7, winger Craig McGuffie became the club's fourth new addition - joining from Queen of the South.[12] The same day, winger Ross MacLean left the club - joining Forfar Athletic for an undisclosed fee[13] - but goalkeeper Patrick O'Neil inked a new season long deal.[14] On June 8 defender Aron Lynas extended his stay - signing a season long deal to take him into a third campaign with the club.[15] A third friendly of pre-season was arranged for July 2, with Sons travelling to Ayrshire to face Glenafton Athletic.[16] Mouhamed Niang was the club's next new addition, joining on a year long deal from Cove Rangers on June 19.[17][18] On June 26 defender Sean Crighton left the club to become the new head coach of Queen's Park's B team.[19] Sons' first pre-season friendly ended in a 3-2 defeat to 2023–24 League One champions Falkirk - with Jinky Hilton scoring both goals.[20]
July
Sons' second friendly match finished in a 4-0 victory against Glenafton Athletic. Carlo Pignatiello scored a brace with Jinky Hilton and a trialist striker also on target, with all the goals coming before half-time.[21] The pre-season campaign was rounded off with another big away win, this time 6-1 against Hebburn Town in Newcastle. Again Pignatiello and the trialist striker got on the scoresheet, with David Wilson, Finlay Gray and Michael Ruth's brace completing the scoring.[22] On July 9 the Dumbarton Football Stadium was renamed The Marbill Coaches Stadium in a new sponsorship deal.[23]
