The 2025 Texas State Bobcats football team represented Texas State University in the Sun Belt Conference's West Division during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bobcats were led by G. J. Kinne in his third year as the head coach. The Bobcats played home games at the UFCU Stadium, located in San Marcos, Texas.
The Bobcats started the season 3–6, with four of those losses being by seven points or less. The team won its last three games to finish the regular season at 6–6, becoming bowl eligible for the third season in a row. The Bobcats were invited to the Armed Forces Bowl, where they defeated Rice 41–10.
The 2025 season was the last the Bobcats played as members of the Sun Belt. After having turned down an invitation to join the Mountain West Conference, the Bobcats accepted an invitation to join the Pac-12 Conference for all athletic programs beginning with the 2026–27 academic year.[2][3][4]
