This is the first season since 2015–16 without Trent Alexander-Arnold, the first since 2020–21 without Luis Díaz and the first since 2019–20 without Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident on 3 July 2025.[1][2] On 11 July 2025, Jota's squad number 20 was retired across all levels in his memory.[3]

On 25 August 2025, Rio Ngumoha scored a 100th-minute winner against Newcastle United in the Premier League, becoming the club's youngest ever goalscorer at 16 years and 361 days.[4]
