The 2025–26 División de Honor is the 59th season of the División de Honor, the top flight of Spanish domestic rugby union.
Competition format The season takes place between October and May.
Points are awarded as follows: 4 points for a win 2 points for a draw 1 bonus point for a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match 1 bonus point for a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
Each team plays ten games, one game against each opponent. Then the league divides into two groups: the top six teams progress to Group A and the remaining five teams progress to Group B. The teams face the other members of their groups once more, meaning Group A teams play a total of 15 games while Group B play 14.
Eight teams progress through to the playoffs: the top two teams from Group B qualify along with the six teams from Group A.
Promotion and relegation The second-tier División de Honor B de Rugby is made up of three regional groups. The top eight teams across the three groups play off; the champion is promoted to División de Honor.
Like the 2024/25 season, two teams would be relegated, reducing the league to 10 teams.
Teams Pozuelo and Les Abelles were relegated while Liceo Francés were promoted.
