The 2026–27 season is the 108th season in the history of ŠK Slovan Bratislava and the club's 21st consecutive season in the top flight of Slovak football. In addition to the domestic league, Slovan are also scheduled to participate in this season's edition of the Slovak Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
Slovan entered the season as defending Slovak champions, having won the Slovak First Football League for the eighth consecutive time in 2025–26. The title further extended the club's domestic record for the longest championship-winning streak in Slovak football history.
Following the end of the previous season, Vladimír Weiss left the club to take charge of the Slovakia national team, ending his five-year spell as Slovan manager. He was replaced by former Ivory Coast international and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Touré, with Irishman Darren O'Dea and Frenchman Serge Costa appointed as his assistants.
The campaign also marks a significant transition in the playing squad, following the departures of several long-serving players, including Guram Kashia, Róbert Mak and Vladimír Weiss Jr.
