The 2025 UCF Knights football team will represent the University of Central Florida (UCF) as a member of the Big 12 Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Knights will be led by third-year head coach Scott Frost in his second stint. The team plays home games at FBC Mortgage Stadium located in Orlando, Florida.

After compiling a 28–24 record during four years as head coach, Gus Malzahn resigned on November 30, 2024 to take the offensive coordinator position at Florida State.[1] One week later, after a brief coaching search, the university re-hired Scott Frost, who coached the Knights football team in 20162017.[2]
