The 2025–26 season was the 127th season in the history of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, and the club's 18th consecutive season in the Bundesliga. In addition to the domestic league, the club participated in the DFB-Pokal. Hoffenheim finished 5th in the Bundesliga, and qualified for the 2026–27 UEFA Europa League, and they were knocked out of the DFB-Pokal in the second round.
Background and pre-season In November 2024, Christian Ilzer was appointed as manager of the club on a "long-term contract", with the club narrowly above the relegation places. Despite an eventual 15th-place finish at the end of the 2024–25 season, and speculation suggesting Ilzer would be dismissed, Hoffenheim sporting director Andreas Schicker confirmed that he would remain head coach for the 2025–26 season.
