The 2025 California Golden Bears football team represent the University of California, Berkeley in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Golden Bears are led by Justin Wilcox in his ninth year as the head coach. The Golden Bears play their home games at California Memorial Stadium located in Berkeley, California.

On November 23, Cal announced they were parting ways with head coach Justin Wilcox; Nick Rolovich, a senior offensive assistant, would be elevated to interim head coach. Wilcox accrued a 48–55 record, with five bowl berths, making him the program's sixth-winningest head coach.[2]

On December 4, the program hired Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi as their next head coach, the same day they accepted a bid to play in the Hawaii Bowl against Hawaii.[3]
