The 2025 UCLA Bruins football team represented the University of California, Los Angeles in the Big Ten Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bruins played their home games at the Rose Bowl located in Pasadena, California. The Bruins were led by second-year head coach DeShaun Foster, but he was fired on September 14 after the team opened the season 0–3; special assistant to the head coach Tim Skipper was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Three days later, on September 17, UCLA parted ways with defensive coordinator Ikaika Malloe. After a demoralizing loss to Northwestern, UCLA and offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri mutually parted ways, ending his tenure with an offense that averaged 14.3 points per game, which ranked No. 132 out of 134 major college teams. In their next game, on October 4, UCLA upset No. 7 Penn State 42–37, becoming the first team to enter a game 0–4 or worse and beat an AP poll top ten opponent since UTEP defeated No. 7 BYU in 1985.
