The 2025 season is the Tennessee Titans' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their 29th in the state of Tennessee, their first under the leadership of a new general manager Mike Borgonzi, and their second and final under head coach Brian Callahan. The Titans held the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, their first time holding it since 2016, which they used to draft Miami quarterback Cam Ward. [1] The team will look to improve upon their 3–14 record from the 2024 season and end their three-year drought of both a playoff appearance and an AFC South title. Their primary starting quarterback the previous two years, Will Levis, went through season-ending shoulder surgery in the off season. Brian Callahan has the worst record in NFL history through 20 games. [2] The Titans started 1–5 for the second consecutive season. This season began with the team's third general manager in four seasons. On October 13, Callahan was relieved of his duties with Mike McCoy being named interim head coach for the remainder of the season. [3] This means that 2026 will begin with the team's third head coach in four seasons.
On January 6, 2025, the Titans signed 12 players from their practice squad to reserve/futures contracts. [4]

This was Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward's first game in the NFL.

With the loss, the Titans started their season 0–1. Because the Colts beat the Dolphins 33–8, the Titans now hold the NFL's longest active season opener losing streak, not having won a season opener since 2020.

The Titans overcame a 21–3 deficit, ultimately winning on a 29-yard field goal by kicker Joey Slye as time expired to upset the Cardinals 22–21, snapping a 10-game losing streak dating back to the previous season. A notable play occurred when Cardinals safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson intercepted a pass from quarterback Cam Ward but immediately fumbled the ball. Titans receiver Tyler Lockett recovered it in the end zone, narrowing the Cardinals' lead to 21–19 with 4:51 remaining. [12]
With the upset victory, the Titans improved to 1–4, and Cam Ward earned his first NFL win. He finished the day with a season-high 265 passing yards. It was also the Titans’ first win in Arizona since the 1997 season, when the franchise was known as the Tennessee Oilers. [13]
