The 2025 Oklahoma State Cowboys football team represented Oklahoma State University as a member of the Big 12 Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cowboys played home games at Boone Pickens Stadium located in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
They were led by Mike Gundy in his 21st year as their head coach until his firing on September 23. Offensive coordinator Doug Meacham served as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. On November 25, North Texas head coach Eric Morris was named the Cowboys' new head coach.
The season began with Gundy sitting on one of the hottest seats in the nation. After a 69–3 blowout to Oregon in week 2, fans started calling for Gundy's firing, even more so during the team's home loss to Tulsa, where fans began chanting "Fire Gundy". This was the worst season for Oklahoma State since their winless 1991 campaign, and the most ever losses the team has had in one season. Oklahoma State remained winless against FBS opponents, and losing to Tulsa for the first time since 1998.
During the October 11 home game against Houston, a Cowboys fan named Trent Eaton stood in an empty section of Boone Pickens Stadium bare-chested, twirling his shirt above his head on a dare from his sister, who offered him $10 to do it. Eventually, others joined Eaton, and they filled the section, attracting attention on the TNT broadcast and, afterward, on social media. Cowboys fans continued doing this at home games for the remainder of the season, and fans of other college football teams across the country did so as well. The action was eventually labeled "Tarps Off". In 2026, fans at Major League Baseball and College World Series games continued the trend.
