2025 Arkansas Razorbacks football team
The 2025 Arkansas Razorbacks football team represented the University of Arkansas as a member of the Southeastern Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by sixth-year head coach Sam Pittman, the Razorbacks played six home games at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas and one home game at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas.
On September 28, Pittman was fired as the Razorbacks' head coach. Offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, who previously served as the Razorbacks' head coach from 2008 to 2011, was named interim head coach. On September 29, Petrino fired defensive coordinator Travis Williams, co-DC Marcus Woodson, and D-Line coach Deke Adams. RB coach Kolby Smith served as the interim offensive coordinator, but Petrino will still call the plays. Assistant defensive line coach Chris Wilson served as the interim defensive coordinator.
During Pittman's tenure as head coach, he compiled a 32–34 overall record, with a 14–29 conference record, and won 3 bowl games.
On November 30, Arkansas hired former Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield as the new Razorbacks head coach. Silverfield and Memphis defeated Arkansas during the 2025 season, before Pittman was fired.
