The 2025 UConn Huskies football team will represent the University of Connecticut (UConn) as an independent during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Huskies are expected to be led by Jim L. Mora in his fourth year as the head coach.
UConn reached an agreement in 2020 to play Ohio State at Ohio Stadium in September 2025. That game was canceled in June 2024, with Ohio State agreeing to pay UConn $650,000; UConn was originally scheduled to receive $1.95 million for playing the game.{{Cite news |last=Adamec |first=Carl |date=2024-06-17 |title=UConn football team's 2025 game at Ohio State canceled by mutual agreement |url=https://www.ctpost.com/sports/uconn-football/article/ohio-state-canceled-columbus-huskies-19519143.php |work=CTPost.com}}
