The 2025–26 season is Albirex Niigata Singapore's 22nd consecutive season in the top flight of Singapore football and in the Singapore Premier League, having joined the league in 2004. Along with the 2024–25 Singapore Premier League, the club will also compete in the Singapore Cup.
Albirex Niigata Singapore is in transition to a local outfit from the 2024–25 season onwards, which mean that they will have to abide by the same competition rules as local teams, including the foreign player quota.
