Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2025 Montana Grizzlies football team represented the University of Montana as a member of the Big Sky Conference during the 2025 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Grizzlies were led by head coach Bobby Hauck in the eighth season of his current stint and the fifteenth overall, as he was head coach from 2003 to 2009. [1] The team played at Washington–Grizzly Stadium in Missoula, Montana. The Grizzlies were 11–0 heading into the rivalry game with Montana State but were defeated 31–28 at home to close out the regular season. Earning a first round bye, they defeated South Dakota State and South Dakota to reach the Semifinals against Montana State in the first-ever postseason edition of the rivalry (and the first time the rivalry game had been played twice in one year since 1913) but were soundly defeated 43–28 to end their season.
