The 2025–26 season will be the 129th season in the history of Viborg FF, and their fifth consecutive year in the Danish Superliga, the top level of football within Denmark. Additionally, the team will compete within the Danish Cup, the country's official knockout tournament.

Head coach Jakob Poulsen, who took charge midway through the 2023–24 season,[1][2] departed the club on 20 June 2025 after agreeing to become the head coach of fellow Superliga club AGF.[3]

Pre-season and friendlies

Viborg announced the schedule for their first preseason games on 25 June, with matches planned at home against Randers and AaB, and one away match against Danish Superliga newcomers Fredericia.[4][5]

Viborg opened their preseason friendlies with a match against Randers at Energi Viborg Arena on 28 June 2025, with Nickolai Lund taking charge of the team following Jakob Poulsen's departure as head coach the week prior.[6] A large roster of regular first-team members, as well as six under-19 reserve players, were available for the match.[7] Randers ultimately left with a 2–0 victory over Viborg with goals from Oliver Olsen and Stephen Odey, while 22 different players made appearances for Viborg.[6][8] The following Saturday, 5 June, Viborg took on Superliga newcomer Fredericia in a match that was split into two, 60 minute halves.[9] At Monjasa Park, Fredericia winger Gustav Marcussen scored in the 9th minute to give the home side a 1–0 lead. Viborg would come back with two goals before the halftime break, with Ementa and Horneman scoring in the 20th and 23rd minute respectively. The second half, with a new field of players, Viborg went on to score five goals to leave with a 7–1 victory.[10]
