The 2025–26 season is Club de Futbol Cruz Azul's 99th season in their history and their 61st consecutive season in the top flight of Mexican football. In addition to the domestic league, the club will also participate in the Leagues Cup, the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
This will be Cruz Azul's first season under new head coach Nicolás Larcamón, who was announced as Vicente Sánchez's replacement on 16 June 2025. This season is the first since 2018–19 without Alexis Gutiérrez.[1]
On 8 January 2026, before the start of the Clausura 2026 tournament, Cruz Azul relocated to the Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla.[2][3] The relocation followed a notification from UNAM on 6 January 2026 that the club's contract at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario would not be renewed due to logistical and academic scheduling conflicts.[4]
