The 2025–26 Zambia Super League is the 65th season of the Zambia Super League, the top-tier football league in Zambia, and the 20th season under the administration of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ), in partnership with league sponsor MTN. The campaign began on 16 August 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 10 May 2026.

This season features four promoted teams from the 2024–25 Zambia National Division One: Mines United F.C., Mutondo Stars F.C., Nkwazi F.C., and Nchanga Rangers F.C., replacing the relegated sides Forest Rangers, Indeni, Lumwana Radiants, and Atletico Lusaka.
