The 1925–26 season was the 53rd season of competitive football in Scotland and the 36th season of the Scottish Football League.
League competitions
Scottish League Division One
Champions: Celtic<br />
Relegated: Raith Rovers, Clydebank
Scottish League Division Two
Promoted: Dunfermline Athletic, Clyde<br />
Relegated: Broxburn United
Scottish League Division Three
Elected to Division Two: Forfar Athletic
Since multiple clubs were unable to complete their fixtures due to financial difficulties, the championship was withheld. Consequently, the Third Division was dissolved, not being re-established until the 1946–47 season.
Eight of the 16 clubs that competed in the unfinished season are now defunct; of the remainder, Forfar Athletic and Montrose play in the league as of 2025, with Brechin City, Leith Athletic, Mid-Annandale, Peebles Rovers, Royal Albert and Vale of Leven playing in lower levels.
