The 2025 Mercer Bears football team represented Mercer University as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Bears were led by second-year head coach Mike Jacobs and played at the Five Star Stadium in Macon, Georgia.
On August 23, Mercer was set to play in the FCS Kickoff in their only nationally televised game of the season. With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, the game was suspended due to lightning as UC Davis led 23âÂÂ17. In the early morning hours of August 24, it was announced that the game would not resume, and that both teams had agreed to declare it a no contest.
