They confirmed over twitter that Legion takes place in Year 32. That puts BFA in 33.
33 - 25 = 8

Yeah I took a look here and as you said they said it over twitter but sadly that tweet seems to be removed now.
So I would go with 33 as well for now at least.
They also state in the Death Knight intro to their class hall campaign that it’s been 5 years since Fall of the Lich King.
32 - 5 = 27.
