The 2025–26 season is Negeri Sembilan's 102nd year in their history and the 13th season in the Malaysia Super League since it was first introduced in 2004. Also, it is the forth season in the Malaysia Super League since being promoted from the Malaysia Premier League in 2021. Along with the league, the club also compete in the Malaysia Cup and Malaysia FA Cup in 2025–26.

Events

On 21 February 2025, NSFC entered into a sponsorship deal with Thai sportswear brand WARRIX, covering the club’s official kits. Through this agreement, WARRIX will serve as the club’s official technical partner for two seasons, 2025–26 and 2026–27. The sponsorship, worth RM1.7 million, includes support for the senior team as well as the U-23, U-20, and U-18 squads.[1]

NSFC announced the arrival of two former Negeri Sembilan players, Norhafiz Zamani Misbah and Azmi Mohamed, as the new coaching staff for the development squads. Norhafiz was appointed as the head coach for the NSFC U-20 team, while Azmi Mohamed was appointed as the head coach for the NSFC U-18 team. Their arrival is one of the steps to polish the young prospects in Negeri Sembilan.[2][3]

On 12 June 2025, YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Hj Aminuddin bin Harun, the Chief Minister of Negeri Sembilan, was appointed as the new Chairman of NSFC. The announcement was made by YTM Tunku Syed Razman, President of the PBNS. The appointment aimed to strengthen the club’s leadership ahead of the 2025–26 season starting in August.[4]

On 13 June 2025, Negeri Sembilan FC appointed Mohd Nidzam Jamil as the head coach of their Malaysia Super League team for the 2025–26 season. The appointment was officially announced by the club's chairman, YAB Dato’ Seri Aminuddin bin Harun, as part of NSFC's long-term strategic plan to build a more competitive and sustainable team.[5]

On 14 June 2025, Negeri Sembilan FC announced the signing of three key players on free transfers for the 2025–26 season — national team forward Luqman Hakim from KV Kortrijk, goalkeeper Muhd Azri Abd Ghani from Kuala Lumpur City, and defender Ahmad Khuzaimi Piee from Selangor. The move, confirmed by club president Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, reflects the club’s intent to improve after finishing 12th in the previous Malaysia Super League campaign.[6]
