The 2025 Virginia Cavaliers football team represents the University of Virginia in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cavaliers are led by Tony Elliott in his fourth year as head coach and play their home games at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Cavaliers are in the midst of their most successful season to date under Elliot, having reached 10 wins in a season for only the second time in program history after 1989. Included in their 8–1 start to the season (their best since 1990) was a seven-game winning streak, their longest since 2007. It was the first time in program history that UVA started 5–0 in conference play, a start that included a 46–38 double-overtime home win over No. 8 Florida State on September 26 for their seventh all-time win against an AP Top 10 opponent, their first since 2023, and third such win against FSU. The Cavaliers concluded a 7–1 season in the ACC with a 27–7 home blowout victory over rival Virginia Tech for only their third victory over the Hokies since 1999 and first since 2019. With these successes, the 'Hoos have achieved bowl eligibility for the first time since 2021 and will play in their second ACC Championship Game.

Virginia has their first appearances in an AP, Coaches, or College Football Playoff Top 25 poll since 2019, with their initial No. 14 ranking being their highest since the inception of the CFP in 2014.

Notes

1. Although both NC State and Virginia are ACC members, this game will not count in the conference standings. The schools scheduled it as a non-conference game because they otherwise meet every two or three years due to its not being a protected matchup.
