The 2025–26 season is the 127th season in the history of the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and the club's 18th consecutive season in the Bundesliga.

Background and pre-season

In November 2024, Christian Ilzer was appointed as manager of the club on a "long-term contract", with the club narrowly above the relegation places.[1][2] Despite an eventual 15th-place finish at the end of the 2024–25 season,[3] and speculation suggesting Ilzer would be dismissed, Hoffenheim sporting director Andreas Schicker confirmed that he would remain head coach for the 2025–26 season.[4]
