The 2025–26 Egyptian Premier League season is the 67th edition of the Egyptian Premier League, the top professional league for association football clubs in the Egyptian football league system, since its establishment in 1948.
On 18 May 2025, the Egyptian Pro League Association announced the cancellation of relegation for the 2024–25 season. Three teams were promoted to the Premier League, increasing the size of the league from 18 to 21 teams.
The league consists of 21 teams in a single group and is played in two phases. In the first phase, teams face each other once in a single-leg tie, after which the league splits into two groups. Phase two features a championship group for the teams finishing first to seventh and a relegation group for teams placed eighth to twenty-first. The first-place team in the championship group is crowned league champion and qualifies for the CAF Champions League alongside the runner-up, while the third-place team qualifies for the CAF Confederation Cup. Four of the teams in the relegation group get relegated to the Egyptian Second Division A at the end of the season.
A total of three teams were promoted to the league from the 2024–25 Egyptian Second Division A. The first team was champions Al Mokawloon Al Arab SC, who secured promotion back to the Egyptian Premier League who reached an immediate return to the league. They were joined by Wadi Degla SC, who returned to the league after a five-year absence by clinching the second promotion spot. Kahraba Ismailia SC were the last team to earn promotion, who got promoted to the league for the first time in their history, after coming third.
All 18 teams from the prior season's Premier League returned for 2025–26.
