Rankings from AP Poll

The 2025 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University (LSU) as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Tigers played their home games at Tiger Stadium located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Though the Tigers started the season No. 9 in the preseason AP Poll and a close victory of Clemson on the road, the team struggled offensively. The offense was described as inconsistent with struggles in the run-game and turnovers in the passing game, this lead the benching of Garrett Nussmeier, and the firing of Brian Kelly. The season ended with a Texas Bowl loss to Houston.

For the first 8 games, the Tigers were led by fourth-year head coach Brian Kelly, who was fired on October 26, following a home loss to Texas A&M. Associate head coach and running backs coach Frank Wilson was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

The LSU Tigers drew an average home attendance of 101,575, the 7th-highest of all American football teams in the world.
