The 2025–26 Yale Bulldogs Men's ice hockey season will be the 130th season of play for the program and the 64th in ECAC Hockey. The Bulldogs will represent Yale University in the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season, play their home games at the Ingalls Rink and be coached by Joe Howe in his 1st season on an interim basis.

Season Less than a month before fall classes started, Keith Allain announced his retirement. Due to the shot time before the start of the hockey season, assistant coach Joe Howe was promoted to interim head coach for the year. The administration would then hold a national search for a permanent head coach after the season had finished.
