The 2025–26 season is Bengaluru FC's 13th season as a professional football club since its establishment in 2013 and 8th season in the Indian Super League. It runs from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2026 with participation in the Indian Super League and Super Cup.

Owing to the major administrative and financial crisis in Indian football that arose from a dispute between All India Football Federation (AIFF) and Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), Bengaluru did not participate in the 2025 Durand Cup. The crisis further pushed the club to halting their pre-season activities, temporary suspension of first team players and staff in August 2025.[1]

The Blues eventually resumed operations later in the year when a resolution was reached to start the Indian football season in late 2025 with participation in the 2025–26 AIFF Super Cup, where they finished second in the Group stage, missing out on knockout stage after going down to Punjab FC in a penalty shootout played to decide the Group's winner.

On 14 November 2025, head coach Gerard Zaragoza parted ways with the club. He was replaced by former India international Renedy Singh, who was appointed as the full-time head coach on 21 January 2026 to lead the team into the upcoming ISL season.[2] To ensure the club's survival amid the ongoing financial crisis in Indian football, senior players including captain Sunil Chhetri agreed to significant pay cuts in February 2026. This "sacrifice" allowed the club to navigate a season with limited matchday revenue and a truncated league format.[3]

Background

After a disappointing campaign in the 2023–24 season, positive changes in the squad led the Blues to a significantly stronger 2024–25 season. Their resurgence saw them reach semi-finals in the Durand Cup, secure a third-place finish in the Super League standings and ultimately finish as runners-up in the Super League play-offs. However, they eventually fell short of any silverware after an early exit in the Super Cup in the round-of-16.

Owing to uncertainty in the future of Super League and administrative crisis in Indian football, the club cleared out high-earning foreign players and some veteran domestic names to rebuild under a "leaner" model to enable them to navigate the crisis. The club began its transfer window in June by signing extensions.

Forward Shivaldo Singh penned a new three-year deal that extended his contract until the end of 2027–28 season.[4] Following his suite were Monirul Molla and Sahil Poonia who signed extensions for the same period.[5] Among foreign players, Spaniard Édgar Méndez had signed a one-year extension,[6] however, the crisis led uncertain future of the league meant the club parting ways the player in August.[7] On 4 August 2025, Bengaluru had put out a statement on the suspension of first team players' and staff's salaries,[8] before reinstating on 13th September.[9]

In October, Moroccan defender Salaheddine Bahi was announced as the first signing of the season.[10] Two days later, Ashique Kuruniyan who had left for Mohun Bagan Super Giant in 2022, was announced to rejoin the Blues in a long-term deal of four years.[11][12] To strengthen the midfield after the departure of Alberto Noguera, Bengaluru announced the addition of Braian Sanchez.[13]

2024–25 I-League Golden Glove winner Jaspreet Singh was also announced as a new addition to the squad's goalkeeping prowess.[14] To further reduce the vacuum created in the midfield with departures of key players, Bengaluru added Uzbeki midfielder Sirojiddin Kuziev.[15] Lastly, Ryan Williams was also handed an extension shunning the rumours which hinted at a move to Mohun Bagan.[16] Halicharan Narzary was the only player to be loaned out to Diamond Harbour FC for an unknown period on 27 July 2025.[17]

On 5 June 2025, the club published its sustainability report of 2024–25 season where it recycled 2,454 kg (5,410 lb) of waste and thus avoided 5,934 kg (13,082 lb) CO2 emissions.[18] Former Bengaluru FC players Rino Anto and Shankar Sampingiraj decided to call an end to their careers, on the occasion the club wished them the best.[19][20] On 20 July 2025, the club and its supporters celebrated the 12th anniversary of the club's foundation.[21]

Pre-season

Despite the crisis, the club began its pre-season in September. The team's Masseur, Manu Prasad, who was part of the staff since 2017–18 season left the club to his hometown for personal reasons. The Blues had to continue without Prasad, who was referred to as a beloved member of the squad and his hands as "God's gifted" by Sunil Chhetri himself.[38] On 17 September, the Blues arrived in Bengaluru to begin their pre-season training campaign at the newly constructed and India's first hybrid training pitch, located in Yelahanka.[39][40]

On 2 October 2025, sprinter Usain Bolt joined the club owner Parth Jindal along with some of the first team players in a five-a-side friendly against Mumbai City, organised by Puma.[41][42] Amidst uncertainty of the league's resumption, Bengaluru FC did not host their traditional pre-season open training session.
