PL: Wimbledon v United 96/97

The 2025–26 season is Reading's 155th and their third consecutive season in EFL League One. They are only competing in the domestic league now following their elimination from the EFL Trophy in the group stage after rivals Swindon Town beat Milton Keynes Dons 4–0. They also competed in the EFL Cup but were eliminated in the third round losing 2–0 away to EFL Championship club Wrexham and the FA Cup and were eliminated in the first round losing 3–2 after extra time at home to Enterprise National League club Carlisle United. This is Reading's first season under the ownership of Redwood Holdings, and was the first full season under the management of former player Noel Hunt who replaced former manager Rubén Sellés on 6 December 2024. On 26 October 2025, Reading sacked former player and head coach Noel Hunt with 3 wins in 14 matches after a 1–1 draw at home to Doncaster Rovers on 25 October 2025. Two days later, former Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United manager Leam Richardson was appointed as the new head coach.
