The 2025 East Texas A&M Lions football team will represent East Texas A&M University as a member of the Southland Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Lions will be led by third-year head coach Clint Dolezel and play their home games at Ernest Hawkins Field at Memorial Stadium in Commerce, Texas.

This season will mark East Texas A&M's final year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. This will be the last season the Lions will be ineligible for the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs.[1] It is also ETAMU's first full season under its current name; the university started the 2024 season as Texas A&M University–Commerce before officially changing its name on November 7, 2024.[2]
