The 2025 New York Red Bulls season was the club's thirtieth season in Major League Soccer, the top division of soccer in the United States.

During the offseason, the club's stadium changed its name to Sports Illustrated Stadium after the company signed a deal to become the official ticketing partner of the club.

On September 30, 2025, the Red Bulls were eliminated from playoff contention after the Chicago Fire defeated Inter Miami to clinch the final spot in the playoffs, marking the end of the longest record in making an appearance in the MLS Cup playoffs at fifteen seasons.
