The 2025 Syracuse Orange football team represented Syracuse University as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Orange played their home games at the JMA Wireless Dome located in Syracuse, New York. They were led by second-year head coach Fran Brown. The Orange were in their 124th season overall and their 13th as a member of the ACC. Though they started the season 3-1, the Orange would end the season on a 8 game losing streak finishing last in conference play. This was mainly due to starting quarterback Steve Angeli tearing his Achilles during the in-conference game versus Clemson where they upset the Tigers 34-21.

The Syracuse Orange drew an average home attendance of 38,605, the highest of all college football teams from the state of New York.
