Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2025 UC Davis Aggies football team represented the University of California, Davis during the 2025 NCAA Division I FCS football season as a member of the Big Sky Conference. They were led by second-year head coach Tim Plough and played their home games at UC Davis Health Stadium in Davis, California. It was the Aggies' 106th season overall, and 14th in the Big Sky.

UC Davis finished the regular season 8–3 and received a bye during the first week of the FCS playoffs due to their No. 11 (No.8 by the playoff committee) ranking. After defeating the Rhode Island Rams in the Second Round at home, the Aggies would fall to eventual championship runner-ups Illinois State in the Quarterfinals, also at home. Due to the FCS Committee's ranking of the Aggies prior to the start of the playoffs, UC Davis was able to host two consecutive playoff games for the first time since joining Division I FCS in 2003, and the first time hosting a Quarterfinal since 2001.

UC Davis saw record average attendance this season, with an average of 12,991 fans per a game alongside the new stadium record of 17,217, which sets the highest attendance out of all of UC Davis's home venues. This season also saw the first time a linear ESPN channel had been hosted at a UC Davis home game, with the Second Round game against Rhose Island being shown.
