The 2025–26 season is the 115th in the history of Olympic Charleroi and marks the club's return to the second tier of Belgian football for the first time since the 2008–09 season. In addition to the Challenger Pro League, the team also competed in the Belgian Cup.
Season Overview The club began the season under Darko Janacković, but after a difficult start in the professional ranks, he was dismissed on 26 August. Following a brief caretaker period under Nadjib Abdelli, veteran Spanish manager Carlos Sánchez Aguiar was appointed on 2 September to lead the club's survival effort.
Olympic Charleroi staged its first two home matches at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi, home of neighboring club Sporting Charleroi, due to renovation work at the Stade de la Neuville.
In the Belgian Cup, the club reached the sixth round where they were eliminated by Antwerp following a narrow 1–0 defeat. As of 19 January 2026, the club sits 15th in the league, fighting to avoid the relegation play-offs.
