The 2025 Calgary Stampeders season was the 67th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 80th overall. The Stampeders improved upon their 5–12–1 record from 2024 after recording their sixth win in week 10. The team then qualified for the playoffs following a one-year absence after an Edmonton Elks loss to the BC Lions in week 20.[1] However, the Stampeders lost to the BC Lions in the West Semi-Final. The 2025 CFL season was Dave Dickenson's ninth season as head coach and his third season as general manager.[2]

CFL National Draft

The 2025 CFL draft took place on April 29, 2025.[3] The Stampeders had ten selections in the eight-round draft, including the first overall selection, which was the first top selection for the franchise since 2014 CFL draft. The team also received two additional selections, at the end of the first and second rounds, after the BC Lions forfeited their picks due to exceeding the 2024 salary cap.[5] Not including traded picks, the team selected first in each round of the draft after finishing last in the 2024 league standings.[6]
