The 2025–26 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the franchise's 109th season (108th season of play) in the National Hockey League (NHL).

The Maple Leafs fell heavily from their record of 52–26–4 (108 points) the year prior, setting a franchise-record decline of 30 points (78 total) in a single season. The team struggled to produce their regular offensive numbers, especially following the sign and trade deal from the off-season that resulted in star player Mitch Marner joining the Vegas Golden Knights. Along with a lacking defensive core and injuries to Anthony Stolarz and Chris Tanev, the Maple Leafs finished with a goal differential of –46 (83-goal swing) and league-leading 2,660 shots against. The season was also the first without Brendan Shanahan as president of hockey operations since the 2013–14 season.

On March 13, 2026, following a hit from Anaheim Ducks defenceman Radko Gudas, it was announced that team captain Auston Matthews would be out for the remainder of the season due to a tear of his medial collateral ligament (MCL).

On March 30, the team fired general manager Brad Treliving after going 31–30–13 on the season.

Following a loss to the San Jose Sharks, and after wins by the Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators on April 2, the Maple Leafs were eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since the 2015–16 season, ending the longest active playoff streak in the NHL.

The Maple Leafs finished the season with a 32–36–14 record. Their season ended on April 15, in a 3–1 loss to the Ottawa Senators, closing on a seven-game losing streak for the first time since the 1957–58 season. The team went from first in the Atlantic Division the previous year to eighth place, allowing 295 goals, the highest since the 1990–91 season.

On May 13, the team fired head coach Craig Berube.
