Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2025 East Texas A&M Lions football team represented East Texas A&M University as a member of the Southland Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Lions were led by third-year head coach Clint Dolezel and played their home games at Ernest Hawkins Field at Memorial Stadium in Commerce, Texas.

This season was the Lions' first season as a full Division I member, after the NCAA approved East Texas A&M's request to be granted full status one year early on June 23. Thus, the Lions are now eligible for the postseason. It is also ETAMU's first full season under its current name; the university started the 2024 season as Texas A&M University–Commerce before officially changing its name on November 7, 2024.
