The 2025 Brisbane Broncos season was the 38th season in the club's history and in the National Rugby League. Michael Maguire was hired as head coach for 2025 following the dismissal of Kevin Walters. Adam Reynolds once again captained the squad, with Patrick Carrigan acting as captain in games where Reynolds was unavailable.

Despite a mid-season slump where the Broncos lost six out of seven games, the club was able to return to the NRL finals after missing out the previous year. In the finals, the Broncos staged three consecutive second-half comebacks on their way to becoming NRL premiers; the club's first premiership title since 2006.
