Off the field issues On 17 April 2025, Hamilton were deducted 15 points and fined £9,000 for multiple breaches of SPFL rules. On 1 May, one day before the final round of Championship fixtures were scheduled to be played, the SPFL upheld their decision after the club had submitted an appeal, confirming Hamilton's relegation to League One. On 25 July, Hamilton were issued with a season-long transfer embargo by the SPFL after failing to settle the club's tax obligations on three separate occasions. As a result the club were fined £7,500 with £5,000 suspended. It also left the club unable to sign new players as well as re-register players whose contracts had expired. Subsequently the club signed several players on amateur contracts in order to circumvent the embargo. However on 22 October, Accies were deducted points and fined £22,000 after having been found in breach of several SPFL rules in relation to payments being made to players registered as amateurs or trialists. The club were deducted 5 points in League One and 1 point in the Challenge Cup league phase. Of the £22,000, £3,000 was suspended until the end of the 2026/27 season. On 4 November, Jock Brown announced he would be stepping down from his role as Chairman for health reasons, leaving director of football, Gerry Strain, as the sole director left on the club's board. On 11 November, the SFA released a statement which determined that Accies CEO and majority shareholder Serif Zengin, and Gerry Strain, were judged not to be "fit and proper" people to be involved in association football. This resulted in the pair being banned from running the day-to-day operations at the club. Later that same day, it was revealed that Police Scotland were investigating alleged fraud at the club, dating back to May of that year. On 16 December, the club were deducted a further 9 points for failing to maintain a bronze-level club license. On 4 January 2026, the club announced that a takeover had been completed by Morley Sports Management Group who had acquired 97.5% controlling stake in the club from Seref Zengin. Rob Edwards, Neil Blankstone and Allan Currie were appointed to the clubs's board with Currie taking on the role of interim chairman. On 12 February, Hamilton were deducted a further 6 points in relation to the late payment of staff and players in December 2025.
Relocation to Broadwood Stadium Between 2022 and 2025, Hamilton shared their home stadium,
New Douglas Park, with
Clyde following Clyde's eviction from their home ground
Broadwood Stadium. In May 2025 it was announced that due to a dispute with the owner of New Douglas Park, Hamilton would play their home fixtures at Broadwood until further notice. In April 2026, the club announced that they had reached an agreement to return to New Douglas Park for the 2026/27 season. ==Results and fixtures==
