The 2025 Arkansas Razorbacks football team represented the University of Arkansas as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by sixth-year head coach Sam Pittman, the Razorbacks played six home games at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas and one home game at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas.
On September 28, Pittman was fired as the Razorbacks' head coach. Offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, who previously served as the Razorbacks' head coach from 2008 to 2011, was named interim head coach. On September 29, Petrino fired defensive coordinator Travis Williams, co-DC Marcus Woodson, and D-Line coach Deke Adams. RB coach Kolby Smith served as the interim offensive coordinator, but Petrino still called the plays. Assistant defensive line coach Chris Wilson served as the interim defensive coordinator.
During Pittman's tenure as head coach (five complete seasons and the first five games of his 6th season), he compiled a 32–34 overall record, with a 14–29 conference record, and won 3 bowl games, with one Top 25 finish in 2021.
The Razorbacks winning percentage () in 2025 is tied with the 2018 and 2019 teams for the lowest in program history. On November 30, Arkansas hired former Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield as the new Razorbacks head coach. Silverfield and Memphis defeated Arkansas on September 20 during the 2025 season in Memphis, before Pittman was fired.
The Arkansas Razorbacks drew an average home attendance of 69,762, the 19th-highest of all college football teams.
