The 2025 American Conference football season is the 34th NCAA Division I FBS Football season of the American Conference (American), known before July 21, 2025, as the American Athletic Conference. It is the 13th season for the conference after the breakup of the former Big East Conference (whose charter legally belongs to the American), and the 11th season of the College Football Playoff in place. The American is considered a member of the Group of Five (G5) together with Conference USA, the MAC, Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. The conference has 14 football members for the 2025–26 season.

The conference was officially renamed "American Conference" on July 21, 2025, as part of a comprehensive brand initiative. The American's new website went live on July 24, coinciding with the conference's football media days. [1]
