The 2025–26 Champ Rugby is the seventeenth season of the Champ Rugby, the professional second tier of rugby union in England. It is the first season under the rebranded banner of Champ Rugby, succeeding sixteen seasons under RFU Championship branding. The number of teams in the league will increase by two, as there was no relegation in the previous season. Ealing Trailfinders are the defending champions. Ealing were not promoted to the Premiership after failing to meet the minimum standards criteria. Richmond were promoted from National League 1 and newly-reestablished Worcester Warriors were added following the old club's period of administration.
