The 2025–26 Phoenix Suns season is the 58th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as well as their 33rd season at the Mortgage Matchup Center. This for the first time since 2020 that Suns will not play on Christmas Day.
On April 14, 2025, just a day after their disappointing season ended, the Suns fired head coach, Mike Budenholzer after only one year with the team, despite his five-year, $50 million contract. This decision was made after the team's poor performance. On May 1, the Suns promoted Brian Gregory, formerly the vice president of player programming and veteran college basketball coach, to general manager. James Jones transitioned to a senior advisor role before being appointed as the NBA's Executive Vice President and Head of Basketball Operations on July 9, succeeding Joe Dumars. On June 6, Phoenix hired Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach Jordan Ott as head coach, signing him to a four-year contract.
On July 6, the Suns completed a record-breaking seven-team trade that sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets and brought in Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea, and future second-round picks in 2026 and 2032 from Houston. On July 16, the Suns and Bradley Beal reached an agreement on a contract buyout, with the team applying the stretch provision to his remaining $90 million guaranteed salary.
