The 2025–26 season is the 136th season in the history of Brentford Football Club, and the club's fifth consecutive season in the Premier League. In addition to the domestic league, the club also participated in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

Prior to the season starting, Thomas Frank departed as head coach after seven years to join Tottenham Hotspur.[1] Keith Andrews was then later appointed as the new head coach.[2] On 2 August, Nathan Collins was named captain, following the departure of previous captain Christian Nørgaard to Arsenal.[3]

This is the first season since 2018–19 without Christian Nørgaard and Bryan Mbeumo.[4][5]
