2025 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team

The 2025 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team represented the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (Hawaiʻi or UH) in the Mountain West Conference (MW) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Rainbow Warriors were led by Timmy Chang in his fourth year as the program's head coach. The Rainbow Warriors played home games at the Clarence T. C. Ching Athletics Complex, located in Honolulu, Hawaii.

After a win over Colorado State on October 18, the Rainbow Warriors became bowl eligible for the first time since 2019. The team was bowl eligible in 2020 and 2021 only due to COVID-19-related eligibility reasons. After a win at home over San Diego State on November 8, the Rainbow Warriors secured their first winning season since 2020.

Hawaiʻi had been a single-sport MW member since 2012, and the 2025 season was its last as such. UH will become a full MW member in July 2026.

The Rainbow Warriors drew an average home attendance of 13,708, the highest average since they moved to the Ching Complex in 2021 on a temporary basis.
