The 2025–26 Creamline Cool Smashers season was the eighth season of the Creamline Cool Smashers in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).
In the PVL on Tour, Creamline made the final round once more on July 29 following Chery Tiggo's loss against the Zus Coffee Thunderbelles. In the quarterfinals, the Creamline swept the Farm Fresh Foxies but lost to PLDT in the semifinals in a five-set match. It marked the first time since the 2022 Reinforced Conference in which Creamline failed to make the championship. They then swept the Cignal HD Spikers to claim the bronze medal for the conference.
In the Invitational Conference, Creamline settled for a fourth place in the prelims with a 2–3 record and 7 points, still enough to advance to the bronze medal match. They then swept Chery Tiggo to keep their podium streak alive at 19 conferences.
For the Reinforced Conference, Creamline brought in Courtney Schwan as their foreign player. After finishing fourth in the prelims with a 5–3 record and 17 points, the team was once again matched against rivals Petro Gazz. The Cool Smashers lost to the Angels in four sets, marking the first time in franchise history that the team failed to make at least the semifinals, putting an end to their aforementioned podium streak.
The lead-up to the All-Filipino Conference saw multiple departues, most notably longtime Creamline member Pau Soriano, while the team had a single acquisition ahead of the All-Filipino Conference in Jen Nierva from the defunct Chery Tiggo Crossovers.
