The 2025–26 season is the 57th season in the history of Accrington Stanley Football Club and their third consecutive season in League Two. In addition to the domestic league, the club are also to participate in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the 2025–26 EFL Trophy.

Similar to the previous season, Accrington started slowly and were last in the league after a few games. Due to a strong run in the middle of the season the team climbed to the middle of the table by the start of 2026 with considerable distance to the relegation battle. The domestic cup runs ended with defeats at home against EFL League One teams, going out to Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Cup and Mansfield Town in the FA Cup on penalties.
