The 2025 season is the San Francisco 49ers' 76th in the National Football League (NFL), their 80th overall, their 12th playing their home games at Levi's Stadium and their ninth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. The 49ers improved on their 6–11 record from last year following a Week 11 victory against the division rival Arizona Cardinals. They will look to make a return to the playoffs after a one-year absence. The 49ers won all three games on the road against the Rams, Seahawks, and Cardinals. The 49ers clinched their fourth winning season in five years after a Week 13 26–8 win on the road against the Cleveland Browns.

This season marks the return of Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator, replacing Nick Sorensen, who was fired by the team after a single season.[1] Saleh had previously coordinated the 49ers' defense from 2017 to 2020, after which he spent three full seasons as the head coach of the New York Jets before being relieved of his position just five games into the 2024 season.[2][3]

The 2025 offseason saw a number of significant departures in free agency, among them linebacker Dre Greenlaw, guard Aaron Banks, safety Talanoa Hufanga, and cornerback Charvarius Ward.[4] Additionally, the 49ers traded wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders.[5] This will be the team's first season since 2018 without either Samuel or Greenlaw on its roster. The team's 10–4 start is their best since they started 11–3 in their Super Bowl LVIII-losing 2023 season.
