The 2025 Washington State Cougars football team represented Washington State University in the Pac-12 Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Jimmy Rogers, the Cougars played home games on campus at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington.
Before the season started, 60 of the previous year's players chose to leave the team via the NCAA transfer portal, and were primarily replaced with players from the FCS and Division II in the NCAA football system. Washington State's loss at North Texas in Week 3 was their worst loss (by margin of defeat) since 2008, when they were shut out 58–0 at Stanford. Washington State closed out the regular season with a 32–8 victory over Oregon State in its only official conference game of the season.
Rogers was previously the head coach at South Dakota State for two seasons; the Jackrabbits were FCS champions in 2023, winning all fifteen of their games.
Washington State went 6–6 in what turned out to be Rogers' only season at the helm; following the regular season, he accepted the head coaching job at Iowa State.
The Washington State Cougars drew an average home attendance of 26,527, the 81st-highest of all NCAA Division I FBS football teams.
