The 2025–26 Cymru North season (also known as the 2025–26 JD Cymru North season for sponsorship reasons) is the sixth season of the second-tier northern region football league in the Welsh football pyramid. The season began on 25 July 2025 and will conclude on 18 April 2026.[1]

Top three teams will be promoted to the Cymru Premier, as the top division increases to 16 teams from the 2026-27 season and one team will be relegated to third division. However, this implementation only applies for this season.[2][3]

Teams

The league consisted of sixteen teams; twelve teams remaining from the previous season, three teams promoted from the Ardal Leagues, and one team relegated from the Cymru Premier.
