The 2025 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame as an independent during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Fighting Irish were led by Marcus Freeman in his fourth year as Notre Dame's head coach. They played their home games at Notre Dame Stadium located in Notre Dame, Indiana.
The Fighting Irish completed their regular season with a 10–2 record and narrowly missed being invited to the 2025–26 College Football Playoff. The team did receive an invitation to the 2025 Pop-Tarts Bowl; however, the team announced on December 7 that they would be withdrawing their name from bowl game consideration in a widely-criticized and widely-mocked move.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish drew an average home attendance of 77,622, the 16th-highest of all college football teams.
