The 2025–26 Boston Bruins season was the 102nd season (101st season of play) for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on November 1, 1924.^[1]

During the offseason, the Bruins hired former player Marco Sturm as their head coach, replacing Joe Sacco, who was serving on an interim basis after the firing of Jim Montgomery during the previous season. The Bruins entered the season coming off the first time they had missed the Stanley Cup playoffs since the 2015–16 season.
