The 2025–26 season will be the 139th in the history of Manchester United, their 34th season in the Premier League and their 51st consecutive and 101st overall season in the top flight of English football. The club will participate in the Premier League, FA Cup and the EFL Cup. They will not compete in European competitions for the first time since 2014–15.

With the retirement of Jonny Evans, United are without a Premier League winner in their squad for the first time since the competition's inaugural season in 1992–93, and without a player who had played under Sir Alex Ferguson for the first time since 1974.
