2025–26 Cleveland Cavaliers season

The 2025–26 Cleveland Cavaliers season is the 56th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

With a loss to the Utah Jazz on January 12, the Cavaliers were not able to improve on their 64–18 record from their previous season. On February 4, they traded Darius Garland and a 2026 second-round pick to the Los Angeles Clippers for James Harden.
