The 2025–26 Ghana Premier League was the 70th season of the Ghana Premier League, the top-tier football league in Ghana that began on 12 September 2025 and ended on 24 May 2026.
Medeama were crowned league winners for a second time after a 5–2 win over Heart of Lions on 17 May 2026 with a game to spare and thus represented Ghana in the following season's CAF Champions League. After finishing the season with winning the Ghana FA Cup and a point below Young Apostles, Nations got relegated to the Ghana Division One after 3 years in the top flight, with Eleven Wonders and Hohoe United following suit after only a year of promotion.
With an average attendance of 20,163, Asante Kotoko recorded the highest average home league attendance.
Teams This season's league consisted of 18 teams – the top 15 teams from the previous season, and three teams promoted from the previous season's Division One League.
Changes from the previous season Hohoe United, Eleven Wonders and Swedru All Blacks were promoted from the 2024–25 Division One League, replacing the 2024–25 bottom three teams; Nsoatreman, Legon Cities and Accra Lions.

Controversies After a 2-0 loss against Hearts of Oak on 29 March 2026, Hohoe United decided to withdraw from the league with accusations of alleged match officiating irregularities and bias. On 1 May that year, the Ghana Football Association through its disciplinary committee in response banned Hohoe United from the league system for 3 seasons and declared their players and coaches as free agents, thus ending their brief stay in the top-flight.
On 12 April 2026, after a 1-0 loss against Samartex, the team bus of Berekum Chelsea was targeted in a robbery while on their way back to Berekum, during which its 20-year-old foward, Dominic Frimpong, was shot in the head and died of his injuries despite being afterward rushed to the town's government-built hospital.
