The 2025–26 Super League (also known as the 2025–26 BRI Super League for sponsorship reasons) was the inaugural season of the Super League under its current name and the 16th season of the top-flight Indonesian football league since its establishment in 2008. The season began on 8 August 2025 and concluded on 23 May 2026, which included a break from 1 to 19 December 2025 in conjunction with the SEA Games in Thailand. The summer transfer window ran from 24 June to 11 September 2025, while the winter transfer window ran from 2 January to 28 February 2026.
Persib were the defending champions after winning their 3rd Liga 1 title and 9th overall Indonesian top-flight football title in the previous season.
Overview The league was contested by 18 teams. This was made up of fifteen teams from the previous season and three teams promoted from Liga 2.
Three teams were relegated at the end of the previous season. PSIS were the first to be relegated on 11 May 2025 after Semen Padang had a draw with Persebaya in an away match during matchweek 32. The result ended PSIS's seven-season stay in the first-tier. The other two teams to be relegated were PSS and Barito Putera with the results of each match in final matchweek. Despite winning over Madura United, PSS were relegated after six seasons in the top tier. Barito Putera's win over PSIS on the final day did not keep them in the division, for the first time in 12 years.
Three teams were promoted from Liga 2. Bhayangkara Presisi secured promotion following a win over Persijap in matchweek 5 of Group Y in the championship round. PSIM were promoted following a win over PSPS in matchweek 6 of Group X in the championship round. This season marked PSIM's return to the top tier after 18 years. Persijap won the divisional promotion play-off in a game against PSPS. This marked Persijap's return to the top tier after 10 seasons of absence, including two seasons in the third tier.
Starting from this season, I-League announced an increase in the foreign player quota to a maximum of 11 per club. However, only nine foreign players are allowed to be registered in the matchday squad, with a maximum of seven in the starting eleven and two on the bench.
