The 2025 Missouri Tigers football team will represent the University of Missouri in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Tigers will be led by Eliah Drinkwitz in his sixth season as their head coach. The Tigers will play their home games at Faurot Field located in Columbia, Missouri. The conference opponents are the same in 2025 as in 2024, with the only difference being the host cities have been swapped. Missouri is also slated to play Kansas in football for the first time since 2011. The Tigers are coming off a 10-3 season and a 27-24 win over Iowa in the 2024 Music City Bowl.

Missouri's linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator D.J. Smith left the program to become the defensive coordinator at Appalachian State. On January 16, 2025, it was announced that Miami linebackers coach Derek Nicholson would replace Smith. On May 16th, interior defensive line coach Al Davis resigned his position due to personal reasons, with David Blackwell taking over Smith's duties.

Eli Drinkwitz and his staff were very active in the transfer portal once again, bringing in 17 transfers during the winter transfer period. These included offensive skill players such as running back Ahmad Hardy (formerly of Louisiana-Monroe) and wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. (formerly of Mississippi State). They also brought in transfer QB Beau Pribula from Penn State, who is expected to compete with Sam Horn for the starting QB role. On defense, Missouri brought in Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year Josiah Trotter from West Virginia, and former 5 star recruit and one of the highest rated transfers in the portal in Georgia OLB Damon Wilson II, who is expected to play as an edge rusher for the Tigers.

Missouri was predicted to finish 12th of 16 in the SEC by media covering SEC Football Media Days in Atlanta, Georgia, with OL Cayden Green named to the preseason first-team All-SEC. ^[1] Missouri received votes in both the Preseason Coaches Poll and the AP poll, coming in at 27th and 32nd, respectively, if the rankings were expanded out beyond the top 25.

Drinkwitz announced that he would not name an official starting QB heading into the season, and that Beau Pribula would play the first half and Sam Horn would play the second half in the opening game vs. Central Arkansas. ^[2] Both QB Sam Horn and kicker Blake Craig were injured in the first game, and will miss significant time.
