The 2025–26 season was Persebaya Surabaya's 98th season in existence and its 8th consecutive seasons in top-flight following its success in getting promoted from the 2017 Liga 2. This was Persebaya Surabaya's first season under new head coach Eduardo Pérez.
Eduardo Pérez was dismissed in November following a draw to Arema. The club was 8th on the league table, having already suffered 3 loss, 4 draws and only 4 wins from 11 games. Former Persebaya player and assistant coach, Uston Nawawi, took over as interim head coach during the vacancy.
On 22 December 2025, Persebaya announced Bernardo Tavares as their new head coach, following his departure from PSM Makassar.
