2025–26 BCHL season

The 2025–26 BCHL season is the 64th season of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).

The league championship trophy, formerly known as the Fred Page Cup, was renamed the Rogers BCHL Cup pursuant to a sponsorship agreement with Rogers Communications.

The annual showcase event took place from 12 – 16 October 2025 in the Fraser Valley cities of Abbotsford and Chilliwack. The event is an opportunity for NCAA coaches and NHL scouts to observe all 20 teams playing two regular season games each. Games on October 12th, 13th, 14th and 16th took place at Abbotsford Centre while games October 15th were held at the Chilliwack Coliseum.

The Salmon Arm Silverbacks franchise was sold to Forge Sports Group Ltd. The BCHL Board of Governors approved the franchise sale at its semi-annual Governors Meeting in Spruce Grove, Alberta.

The Penticton Vees did not field a team this year, after the Western Hockey League (WHL) established an expansion franchise also called the Penticton Vees and based in the City of Penticton. However, the BCHL said that the Vees ownership would retain its membership in the league while it sought to relocate the franchise to another market.
