The 2025–26 European Aquatics Challenger Cup is the 4th edition of the water polo competition organised by European Aquatics.

Starting this season, it acts as the fourth tier, due to the introduction of the European Aquatics Conference Cup.

The winners of the European Aquatics Challenger Cup automatically qualify for next season's Conference Cup (if they choose to enter).

GZC Donk are the defending champions but will not be defending their title after not entering this season.
