The 2025 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football team represented the University of Delaware as a member of the Conference USA (CUSA) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by fourth-year head coach Ryan Carty and played their home games at Delaware Stadium in Newark, Delaware.

The 2025 season was Delaware's first year in Conference USA since transitioning from the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Although initially declared ineligible for postseason play due to FCS-to-FBS transition rules, they participated in the 68 Ventures Bowl because there were not enough six-win teams eligible for the 42 FBS bowl games.

The Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens drew an average home attendance of 16,751, the highest of all American football teams from Delaware.
