Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2025 East Texas A&M Lions football team represented East Texas A&M University as a member of the Southland Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Lions were led by third-year head coach Clint Dolezel and played their home games at Ernest Hawkins Field at Memorial Stadium in Commerce, Texas.

This season was the Lions' first season as a full Division I member, after the NCAA approved East Texas A&M's request to be granted full status one year early on June 23. Thus, the Lions are now eligible for the postseason.[1] It is also ETAMU's first full season under its current name; the university started the 2024 season as Texas A&M University–Commerce before officially changing its name on November 7, 2024.[2]
