The 2025–26 Ottawa Senators season is the 34th season of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League. The Senators will attempt to return to the NHL playoffs for the second season in a row.

Team business

In a step forward in the process of building a new arena downtown, a land sale agreement for the LeBreton Flats site, was signed in August 2025 with the NCC.[1]

The team will have a new third jersey that will be worn at four "Ignite The Red" home games. The new jersey has a red base and a slightly modified logo chest crest with enhanced embroidery. The shoulder area is black with gold trim. The arms will have similar black stripes with gold trim. The player name lettering and numbers will be a different font. The shoulders will have the Senators 'S' secondary logo.[2]

In October 2025, media website bookies.com surveyed the NHL arenas to determine the cost for a family of four to attend an NHL game. For four of the cheapest tickets, plus parking, two beers, two soft drinks and four hot dogs, the Senators were ranked the lowest-cost in the NHL at an average of US$182 per family, below the NHL average of US$304.[3] Website statista.com had most recently ranked the Senators the third least-expensive in August 2024.[4]

Off-season

In a draft-day transaction, the Senators traded for the Los Angeles Kings' Jordan Spence, a right defenceman.[5] The team did not offer contracts to goaltender Anton Forsberg, forwards Adam Gaudette, Matthew Highmore and Angus Crookshank and defenceman Travis Hamonic. All became unrestricted free agents and signed with other NHL teams. The team signed veteran centre Lars Eller as a free agent. Near the end of the pre-season, the team traded Zack MacEwen to New Jersey for Kurtis MacDermid.
