The 2025–26 Portland Trail Blazers season was the 56th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On July 19, 2025, former All-Star Damian Lillard signed a three-year deal with the Trail Blazers for his second stint with the team. However, he would miss the entire season while recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon. The team also updated both their white "Association" and black "Icon" uniforms by eliminating the silver accents and the contrasting neck and armhole striping.
On October 23, 2025, head coach Chauncey Billups was arrested for alleged involvement in an illegal gambling scheme and was placed on leave by the NBA. He was replaced by Tiago Splitter on interim basis. Deni Avdija was named an All-Star for the first time in his career, while Damian Lillard won the Three-Point Contest at the All-Star Weekend.
With their win against the Milwaukee Bucks on March 25, the Trail Blazers surpassed their win total from the previous season. On March 29, the Trail Blazers clinched a play-in spot. The team finished the regular season with a 42–40 record, placing eighth in the West as they also won the tiebreaker over the Los Angeles Clippers due to a better intra-conference record. Portland clinched their first playoff spot since 2021 with a win over the Phoenix Suns in the first stage of the play-in on April 14, securing the seventh seed. However, they lost in five games to the second-seeded San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.
