The 2025–26 Liga 2 will be the ninth season of the Liga 2 under its current name and the 16th season under its current league structure. This season is the first to use Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the history of Indonesian second division.[1]

PSIM became the second team to be promoted on 17 February 2025. The victory over PSPS in the matchweek 6 of Group X in the championship round ended their 18 seasons in the second division since the formation of the Indonesian Super League (now Liga 1) in the 2008-09 season.[4]
Persijap became the third and last team to be promoted on 25 February 2025. The victory over PSPS in the promotion play-off ended their 11 seasons in the second division.[5]
