I currently do not want to upgrade to macOS 26, but I still want to install the latest Xcode. Is it required to install macOS 26 if I were to get Xcode 26?

Here is the Link to get the latest Xcode 26. [https://developer.apple.com/download/applications/)

Xcode 26 RC requires a Mac running macOS Sequoia 15.6 or later. [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-26-release-notes)

Have fun, and good luck. Cheers!

No, you don't need macOS 26 to run Xcode 26, you do need the latest version of macOS 25 though.
