The 2025 season was the Miami Dolphins' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 60th overall, their tenth and final under general manager Chris Grier and their fourth and final under head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins failed to improve on their 8–9 record from last year. Despite starting the season with a 1–6 record, the Dolphins had a midseason turnaround, winning five of their next six to keep their playoff hopes alive late season. However, after a loss in Week 15 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami was officially eliminated from postseason contention for the second year in a row. This also extended their playoff win drought to 25 seasons. On October 31, the Dolphins and general manager Chris Grier parted ways shortly after a Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. After an inconsistent season from starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, he was benched ahead of the week 16 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals for rookie Quinn Ewers. The Dolphins went 5–4 at home but 2–6 on the road, which ultimately cost them a trip to the postseason.
Head coach Mike McDaniel was fired on January 8, 2026, following the conclusion of the season.
