NCAA Division 1 Football

Season Description
The 2025 NCAA Division I FCS football season, part of college football in the United States, was organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level. The regular season began on August 23 and ended in November, with the exception of the SWAC Football Championship Game in early December. The postseason began on November 29 and ended on January 5, 2026, with the 2026 NCAA Division I Football Championship Game at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.

Due to the structure of the calendar in 2025, FCS teams were allowed to play 12 regular-season games instead of the usual 11. This was the last season before the permanent expansion to a 12-game regular season (see "Notable headlines" below).
