2025–26 Detroit Pistons season

The 2025–26 Detroit Pistons season was the 85th season of the franchise, the 78th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the ninth in Midtown Detroit.

From October 29 to November 26, 2025, the Pistons won 13 consecutive games, tied for the longest in franchise history. On March 1, 2026, following a win over the Orlando Magic, the Pistons surpassed their win total from the 2024–25 season. On March 19, the Pistons secured their first 50-win season since 2007–08. The next day, the Pistons clinched a playoff berth for the second consecutive season following a win over the Golden State Warriors.

On March 31, the Pistons won the Central Division title for the first time since 2008 following a win over the Toronto Raptors. On April 4, the Pistons clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference for the first time since 2007 following a win over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pistons finished the regular season with the third-best record in franchise history at 60–22, their first 60-win season since 2005–06. They became the first team in NBA history to win 60 games after losing 60 games two seasons prior.

Matching up with the Orlando Magic in the first round, the Pistons secured their first home playoff win since 2008 on April 22, breaking their NBA record 11-game home postseason losing streak. The Pistons overcame a 3–1 deficit to eliminate the Magic, becoming the 15th team in NBA history to accomplish the feat. They also won their first playoff series since 2008. However, their season came to an end in the Eastern Conference semifinals when they were eliminated by the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games, despite the Pistons winning the first two games.
