The 2025–26 Cambodian Premier League is the 41st season of the Cambodian Premier League, the top Cambodian professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1982. The season began on 9 August 2025 and will conclude on 17 May 2026.[1]

Much like the previous season, eleven teams are competing in a double round-robin match before the top-six teams proceed to the champion round. Due to the cancellation of 2024–25 Cambodian League 2, no team were promoted or relegated.

Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng are two-time defending champions.
