The 2025 Washington State Cougars football team represent Washington State University in the Pac-12 Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Jimmy Rogers, ^[1] the Cougars play home games on campus at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington.

Before the season started, 60 of the previous year's players chose to leave the team via the NCAA transfer portal, and were primarily replaced with players from tier two and tier three in the NCAA football system. Washington State's loss at North Texas in Week 3 was their worst loss (by margin of defeat) since 2008, when they were shut out 58–0 at Stanford.^{[ citation needed ]}

Rogers was previously the head coach at South Dakota State for two seasons; the Jackrabbits were FCS champions in 2023, winning all fifteen of their games.
