The 2025–26 season is the 148th season in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, and their eighth consecutive season in the Premier League. In addition to the domestic league, the club also participated in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

Managerial changes

On 2 November, Vítor Pereira was sacked after less than a year in charge and a 36.84% win ratio as well as a winless start to the Premier League season, where he lost 8 out of 10 Premier League games, and drew 2. He also had Wolves rock bottom in 20th.[2] Ten days later, Rob Edwards was appointed as head coach from Middlesbrough.[3]
