This was also the eleventh season of the league since its rebrand from J.League Division 2.
== Overview == This was the last J.League season played in a whole calendar year from late winter to early winter, with the following season onwards played from summer to spring.
== Schedule == The league and match format were announced on 25 November 2024, with the season starts on 15 February 2025 and concluded on 29 November 2025.
Promotion play-off was held from 7 to 13 December 2025.
== Changes from the previous season == [[Tochigi SC]], [[Kagoshima United FC|Kagoshima United]] and [[Thespa Gunma]] were relegated to the [[2025 J3 League]], finishing the [[2024 J2 League|previous season]] as 18th, 19th and 20th placed, respectively, ended seven, one and five years stays in the second-tier, respectively.
[[Júbilo Iwata]], [[Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo]] and [[Sagan Tosu]] were relegated from the [[2024 J1 League]], after one, eight and thirteen season in the top flight, respectively.
Both [[Shimizu S-Pulse]] and [[Yokohama FC]] are promoted to the [[2025 J1 League]] as champions and runners-up, respectively, of the [[2024 J2 League|previous J2 League season]]. [[Shizuoka Prefecture|Shizuoka]]-based Shimizu will return in the top flight of Japanese football after two years absence, while Yokohama FC will make their immediate comeback to the J1. Joining them are [[Fagiano Okayama]], who finished 5th in 2024 and earned promotion after winning the promotion play-offs, thus making their first top flight appearance from next season.
[[2024 J3 League]] winners [[RB Omiya Ardija|Omiya Ardija]], runners-up [[FC Imabari]], and promotion play-off winners [[Kataller Toyama]] were both promoted from the [[J3 League]]. Omiya are returning to the second-tier after one-year absence, Imabari makes their debut in the second-tier for this season and Kataller, who finished 3rd, earned promotion after winning the promotion play-offs, thus returning after 11 years absence.
From this season, Omiya Ardija changed their name to [[RB Omiya Ardija]] after they were acquired by [[Red Bull]] since 2025.
