The 2025–26 Indiana Pacers season will be the 59th season of the franchise and the 50th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team will enter the season as runner-ups having lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the previous season's Finals in seven games. For the first time since the 2014–15 season, Myles Turner won't be on the team's opening day roster, as he signed with the Milwaukee Bucks as a free agent.
