The 2025 UMass Minutemen football team represented the University of Massachusetts Amherst during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They played their home games at Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium located in Hadley, Massachusetts, and competed as a member of the Mid-American Conference (MAC). They were led by first-year head coach Joe Harasymiak.

They failed to improve upon their 2–10 record from last season and instead continued their 16-game losing streak en route to suffering their first full winless campaign, becoming the 8th team in the MAC since 2009 to do so, as well as the second straight after Kent State did so the previous year. Some lowlights of the season included a 27–26 loss to FCS Bryant on a game-winning field goal in Week 2, a 47–7 blowout loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes in Week 3, and a Week 7 loss to the Buffalo Bulls by a score of 28–21 after holding a 1 point lead in the final minute prior to the touchdown.
