The 2025–26 Scottish Premiership (known as the William Hill Premiership for sponsorship reasons) will be the 13th season of the Scottish Premiership, the highest division of Scottish football, and the 129th edition overall of the top national league competition, not including one cancelled due to World War II. The season begins on 2 August 2025.[1]
In the initial phase of the season, the 12 teams will play a round-robin tournament whereby each team plays each one of the other teams three times. After 33 games, the league splits into two sections of six teams, with each team playing each other in that section. The league attempts to balance the fixture list so that teams in the same section play each other twice at home and twice away, but sometimes this is impossible. A total of 228 matches will be played, with 38 matches played by each team.

Source: [24][25] Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) Head-to-head points; 5) Head-to-head goal difference; 6) Play-off (only if deciding champion, UEFA competition qualification, second stage group allocation, or relegation).[26] Notes:
^Teams play each other three times (33 matches), before the league is split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six).
^The winners of the 2025–26 Scottish Cup will qualify for the Europa League. If the cup winners finish in the top two, the berth reserved for the cup winners (Europa League third qualifying round) passes to the third-placed team, and the berths for the Conference League second qualifying round are passed down to the fourth- and fifth-placed teams.
