The schedule for the first seven matchdays was released on 6 June 2025, with the opening fixture set for 18 July between Viborg and Copenhagen.[2] Between early December and mid-February, the league entered into its standard winter break during which no league fixtures will be played.[3]

On 10 May, in the penultimate matchday, AGF defeated Brøndby 2–0 and Midtjylland drew 0–0 away at Nordsjælland, which meant that AGF had sealed their first league title in 40 years, having last won the division in 1986.[4]

Teams

edit

OB made an immediate return to the Superliga after winning the 2024–25 Danish 1st Division title in a rare appearance at the lower level. Fredericia joined OB in promotion, marking that club's first appearance in the top flight in its existence. Those two teams replaced AaB and Lyngby, which were relegated at the end of the previous season, ending their top flight spells of one and three years respectively.

European play-offs

edit

The 4th-placed team of the championship round advanced to a play-off match against the winning team of the qualification round (no. 7) in a single-leg tie, with the team from the championship round as hosts. The winner earned a place in the Conference League second qualifying round. Initially intended to be played on 24 May, due to an agreement with local police as a result of Brøndby's qualification for the match against Copenhagen, it was moved to 21 May.[24]
