The 2025 season will be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 50th in the National Football League (NFL), their 12th under the leadership of general manager Jason Licht, their 28th playing their home games at Raymond James Stadium and their fourth under head coach Todd Bowles. They will enter the season as the four-time defending NFC South champions. Tampa Bay will attempt to improve on their 10–7 record from 2024, attempt to extend a franchise record by reaching the playoffs for the sixth straight year, and attempt to set a league record by winning the NFC South division title for the fifth consecutive season.
