The 2025–26 season was the 133rd season in the existence of Mohammedan and their second season in the Indian Super League following promotion from I-League, they also compete in the Durand Cup and Indian Super Cup.

At the first of the season, Mohammedan management faced huge issues regarding investor protocols as Bunkerhill Private Limited cut all ties with the club.^[1] So, club management decided to bring new investors by the start of ISL. Moreover, FIFA handed player registration ban on Mohammedan due to not fulfilling the payments of foreign players of previous season, thus forcing all foreigners to leave the club immediately.^[2] With huge debt on head, the club has fielded their all-Indian squad in Durand Cup, Calcutta Football League and AIFF Super Cup at their own costs.^[3]

In the Calcutta Football League, for the first time in history of 133 years, Mohammedan finished in the bottom six of Premier Division league and got relieved from relegation with slight difference in points.^[4]
