They have laid down 13 songs and are in discussions over a release date for their 25th studio album.
The band's last album, Hackney Diamonds, their first original work in 18 years, went straight to No1 following its release in 2023.
Sir Mick and Keith, both 81, and Ronnie, 78, have been holed up in West London's Metropolis Studios.
A source said: 'Mick, Keith and Ronnie have been secretly recording their new record with their drummer Steve Jordan.
"They've got 13 songs they're happy with and they are discussing when they can release it.
'Originally, the plan was for them to bring their huge US tour to the UK and Europe this summer but promoters couldn't get the dates to work.
'Instead the Stones decided to get back into the studio and put down their next album. It's massive for their fans who didn't get a chance to see them live this year.'
It is understood the It's Only Rock 'n Roll stars have teamed up again with producer Andrew Watt, who worked on Hackney Diamonds.
Keith, who has a house in West Sussex, has been staying at London hotel The Dorchester so he can be closer to the studio.
An insider added: 'Keith loves The Dorchester. It's costing him a packet to stay there but it's perfect for him.'
In November, to mark Ronnie's 50th anniversary of joining the Stones, the band plans to release a remastered edition of its 1976 Black and Blue album, featuring two new tracks.

YWMP fundraising new venue and rehearsal space in Oxford
An educational charity that enables young women, trans and non-binary people to get together and make music is fundraising a new gigging and rehearsal is setting up its new base in Little Clarendon Street, Oxford, where it wants to install music equipment and a PA system, transforming it into a purpose-built Zahra Haji Fath Ali Tehrani told the BBC: "The community is buzzing and people are excited to see something new pop up instead of close."The charity has been running for 25 years but has moved around several different locations in the city during its history. Young people aged 14 to 25 can learn music production, events management, and how to play and perform music at YWMP."The main thing that we do is offer space for young people to come and try music for the first time or develop a craft that they've already figured out," Ms Tehrani said."It's not a space exclusively for women, trans, non-binary or young people, but it's a space that puts them at the centre of decisions and safety." YWMP, formerly the Young Women's Music Project, runs a "Safer Spaces" policy, funded by the Youth Music aims to make grassroots live music venues safer and more accessible for all demographics, particularly marginalised Tehrani said: "There is a wider issue that we all see. "Venues are shutting down, they don't have the funding to keep up standards, so we're trying to transform the status quo of going to gigs and how venues are run... that's what our mission is."Ms Tehrani also promised live shows of a "super high standard".The funding will cover costs such as utilities and staffing, and the building will also include a library. Ms Tehrani said the young members of YWMP were excited about its future."Anytime someone has an idea they'll say 'we'll do that at the nest' which is what they've called the project, it's not called the space," she said."So to me the fact that people can see there are possibilities now that this space is opening, that gives me all that I need to know that it is needed."She added: "It is so important for the community to have a place to organise, show up and be supported to create new things."
