The 2025–26 Boston Fleet season is the team's third season as a member of the Professional Women's Hockey League. They play their home games at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts and at Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts.
Offseason Coaching changes On June 23, 2025, former Fleet head coach Courtney Birchard-Kessel was named head coach of the NCAA's Princeton Tigers women's program. She previously served as an assistant coach for the Tigers under Cara Gardner Morey, who relinquished her role to become the inaugural general manager of Vancouver Goldeneyes.
One month later, on July 23, the Fleet named Kris Sparre as their new head coach. He most recently served as an assistant coach for the San Diego Gulls, the American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks.
On October 15, 2025, the Fleet announced the hiring of Jordan Lavallée Smotherman, Derek Whitmore, and Kacey Bellamy to the coaching staff. Smotherman served as head coach of HC Innsbruck during the 2024–25 ICE Hockey League season. Whitmore most recently served as an assistant coach for the Chicago Steel of the USHL. Bellamy is an Olympic gold medallist and eight–time IIHF Women's World Championship gold medallist who served as a scout and player liaison during the 2022–23 PHF season.

Playoffs
Boston clinched second place in the league on the final day of the regular season. They finished with 62 points, which tied with the Montreal Victoire for first place, but Montreal won the tiebreaker. Montreal chose to play the third-seeded Minnesota Frost, which meant that Boston would take on the fourth-seeded Ottawa Charge in the first round.
