The 2025–26 Brooklyn Nets season was the 50th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), 59th season overall, and its 14th season playing in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
On March 12, the Nets were eliminated from playoff contention for the third season in a row following a loss to the Atlanta Hawks. They were also unable to improve their record from their previous season following a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on March 27. The team finished 13th in the East with a 20–62 record.

Game log Preseason In December 2024, the NBA announced that the Nets and Phoenix Suns would play two of their preseason games at the Venetian Arena in Macau, with the Nets designated the road team in those games. These games mark the first played in China (although not Mainland China) for both the Nets and the NBA since the 2019 preseason, when the Nets met the Los Angeles Lakers. China had boycotted the NBA in response to comments of Daryl Morey (the Houston Rockets' general manager at the time) regarding the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests.
