The 2025–26 Slovenian PrvaLiga is the 35th edition of the Slovenian PrvaLiga since its establishment in 1991. The season began on 18 July 2025.

Teams

Olimpija Ljubljana entered the season as defending champions after winning their fourth title in the previous season.[1] Nafta 1903 were relegated at the end of the previous season,[2] and were replaced by Aluminij.[3] On January 19th an article was published stating the financial situation of Domžale is even worse than expected, which is why Spanish investors are giving up on any potential investment. It is increasingly clear that there is no solution for the club, which celebrated its centenary in 2020.[4].
