The 2025–26 season was the 99th season in the history of ACF Fiorentina, and the club's 22nd consecutive season in the Italian top flight. In addition to the domestic league, the club participated in the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Conference League.
On 30 May 2025, head coach Raffaele Palladino resigned, despite the club extending his contract to 2027 just several weeks prior. Fiorentina thus hired former manager Stefano Pioli, who had previously been the head coach at Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.
Season summary This was a disappointing season for 'La Viola', as they recorded their lowest league finish since 2018–19. They endured a difficult beginning to the campaign, recording no wins and four draws in their opening ten matches. This concluded in the firing of Pioli on 4 November 2025, following a defeat to Lecce. Primavera head coach Daniele Galloppa took over briefly as interim, overseeing a 2–1 defeat to Mainz 05 in the UEFA Conference League. Paolo Vanoli took over for the rest of the season, seeing a relative upturn in form, steering the club away from serious relegation fears and to safety in 15th place. This resulted Fiorentina's fourth-worst points tally in Serie A for the club since the introduction of three points for a win in 1995–96.
In more detail, Fiorentina had to wait until the 16th matchday for their first league win of the season, with a crushing 5–1 victory over Udinese. Fiorentina nevertheless went into the Christmas break at the foot of the table, and would not escape the drop zone until 18 January, and later definitively from 23 February.
Amidst the poor performances on the pitch, Fiorentina endured more drama away from it as the president Rocco Commisso passed away on 16 January, with his son Giuseppe taking over shortly after. This was yet another tragic passing in the Fiorentina family's recent history, following general manager Joe Barone in 2024, and former captain Davide Astori in 2018.
Additionally, the Stadio Artemio Franchi continued its renovation works throughout this season, with the main stand Curva Fiesole remaining closed throughout, limiting attendance figures, as the club aimed to have its stadium selected for hosting at UEFA Euro 2032.
