The 2025 Florida Gators football team represented the University of Florida as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. For the first 7 games, they were led by fourth-year head coach Billy Napier, who was fired on October 19. The Gators played home games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida.
The Florida Gators drew an average home attendance of 90,125, the 10th-highest of all American football teams in the world.
After a lot of offseason hype stemming from the previous seasonâÂÂs four-game winning streak to conclude an 8-5 season that showed progress, the 2025 season quickly went south for Billy Napier and the Gators. In the second game of the year, Florida blew a second-half lead and lost 18-16 to USFâ which entered the game as an 18.5 point underdog. The Gators showed little, if any improvement from then on and Napier was fired after an error-prone 23-21 win over Mississippi State. Billy Gonzales took over as the interim coach after the ensuing bye week, and though things looked promising in a 24-20 loss to a top-five Georgia team, things spiraled out of control from there, with Florida losing its next three games by an average of 17 points.
However, the season did end on a high note, with Jadan Baugh racking up 266 yards on the ground against FSU (the second most in a game in Florida history) in a 40-21 rout of archrival FSU. Having salvaged the finale, Florida finished the season 4-8. In doing so, Florida avoided its worst record since 1979.
