The 2025–26 season is Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's 122nd season in existence and the club's 95th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football. In addition to the domestic league, Real Madrid is participating in this season's editions of the Copa del Rey, the Supercopa de España and the UEFA Champions League.

This season is the first since 2011–12 without Luka Modrić, as well as the first since 2014–15 without youth graduate Lucas Vázquez, who both departed as free agents, to AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen, respectively.[1][2]

On 4 October, Vinícius' brace combined with a goal from Mbappé gave Madrid a 3–1 league win over Villarreal at the Bernabéu.[21] On 19 October, Madrid returned from the international break, winning 1–0 at Getafe with a lone goal from Mbappé.[22] Three days later, Jude Bellingham's winner gave Madrid a 1–0 Champions League league phase home win over Juventus.[23] On 26 October, Madrid ended their four-match El Clásico losing streak, defeating Barcelona 2–1 at the Bernabéu, thanks to goals from Mbappé and Bellingham.[24]

Madrid started the month on 1 November, trashing Valencia 4–0, as a brace from Mbappé and goals from Bellingham and Carreras, a debut one for the Spaniard, helped Real to take the win.[25] Three days later, Madrid lost their Champions League match against Liverpool 0–1 away from home.[26] On 9 November, Madrid's away game versus Rayo Vallecano ended in a 0–0 stalemate.[27] Returning from another international break on 23 November, the debut goal from Huijsen and a tap-in from Bellingham rescued one point for Madrid in a 2–2 draw at Elche.[28] Three days later, Mbappé scored four goals to seal a 4–3 Champions League win over Olympiacos for Real.[29] On 30 November, Madrid dropped points in La Liga for the third time in a row, drawing 1–1 away against Girona with a goal from Mbappé.[30]
