The 2025–26 Odense Boldklub season is the club's 137th season, and their 63rd appearance in the Danish Superliga. It is also Odenses comeback season to the best Danish football tier after relegation to the Danish 1st Division.
At the end of the 2024–25 season, Odense announced the signing of a new head coach, Alexander Zorniger. The German coach is well known in Denmark after his three years as a head coach Brøndby IF from 2016 to 2019. The rumors of Odense signing Zorniger started in February when he was spotted in the Odense away section in a game against Hillerød Fodbold at Right to Dream Park. Sportsdirector Troels Bech knows Zorniger very well from his time in Brøndby. Those two worked together from 2016 til 2018.
