The 2025 Florida State Seminoles football team represented Florida State University in the Atlantic Coast Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season, entering the season after arguably the worst season in the program's history. The Seminoles were led by Mike Norvell, who was in his sixth year as their head coach. The Seminoles played their home games at Doak Campbell Stadium, located in Tallahassee, Florida.

Florida State began the season with an upset win over the eighth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide as a double digit underdog.[1] The Seminoles set the school record for largest margin of victory with a win over the East Texas A&M Lions, matching the previous year's win total,[2] and reaching the top 10 in the polls, going on to surpass it with a win over the Kent State Golden Flashes, setting new school records for total yards, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and first downs in a single game.[3] The Seminoles then suffered four consecutive defeats, starting a season 0–4 in conference play for the first time, first in overtime to the Virginia Cavaliers, the conference opener, losing the Jefferson–Eppes Trophy,[4] to their rival, the Miami Hurricanes,[5] the Pittsburgh Panthers, the fourth consecutive home conference loss for the program,[6] and then the Stanford Cardinal, in the first meeting between the schools and the ninth consecutive conference loss for the program, dating back to the previous season.[7] Following a bye week, the Seminoles got their first conference victory of the season with a homecoming win over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons[8] before losing again on the road to the conference rival Clemson Tigers.[9] On senior day, the Seminoles got their second conference win over the Virginia Tech Hokies.[10] In their final conference game of the season, Florida State lost to the NC State Wolfpack, the tenth consecutive road defeat for the Seminoles[11], dating back to the 2023 Orange Bowl. As a result, the Seminoles finished with a losing record in the ACC for the second straight season; despite this, the university announced that a decision had been made for Norvell to return as head coach for the 2026 season.[12] The Seminoles ended their season with a loss to their rival Florida Gators, compiling a losing record for the fourth time in the last six seasons, finishing winless on the road for the second consecutive season, and leaving them ineligible for a bowl game.[13] Due to a lack of available bowl teams, Florida State was offered a spot in the Birmingham Bowl due to a high academic progress rate score but the school turned down the bid.[14] Wide receiver Duce Robinson became the first Seminole receiver to total 1,000 yards in a season since 2019.[15]

Following the season, defensive backs coach Patrick Surtain, Sr. was dismissed from the coaching staff[16], running backs coach David Johnson departed for the same role at Arkansas[17], defensive analyst Zach Arnett was hired as defensive coordinator for Mississippi State[18], quarterbacks coach Tony Tokarz was hired as offensive coordinator at Buffalo[19] and general manager Derrick Yray took on a management role with UCLA.[20]; Gus Malzahn and Tony White were announced to be returning as coordinators.[21] Nick Williams was hired from Syracuse as edges coach and pass rush specialist[22], Kam Martin was hired from Tulsa as running backs coach[23], Michigan State coach Blue Adams was hired as cornerbacks coach[24][25], and Austin Tucker was promoted to quarterbacks coach for the 2026 season.[26][27]
