The 2025–26 Michigan State Spartans men's ice hockey season is the 84th season of play for the program and 35th in the Big Ten. The Spartans represent Michigan State University in the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season, play their home games at the Munn Ice Arena and are coached by Adam Nightingale in his fourth season.

On January 19, 2026, director of hockey operations for the team and former Spartan player Dan Sturges died suddenly. It was announced that the team would wear a jersey patch in his honor of the remainder of the season.

With a win over Minnesota on March 5, the Spartans secured their third straight Big Ten regular season championship.
