2025 San Francisco 49ers season

The 2025 season was the San Francisco 49ers' 76th in the National Football League (NFL), their 80th overall, their 12th playing their home games at Levi's Stadium, and their ninth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. The 49ers improved on their 6–11 record from 2024 following a Week 11 victory against the division rival Arizona Cardinals and clinched a return to the playoffs after a one-year absence when the Detroit Lions lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16. The 49ers won all three games on the road against the Rams, Seahawks, and Cardinals. The 49ers clinched their fourth winning season in five years after a Week 13 win against the Cleveland Browns.

This season marked the return of Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator, replacing Nick Sorensen, who was fired by the team after a single season.^[1] Saleh had previously coordinated the 49ers' defense from 2017 to 2020, after which he spent three full seasons as the head coach of the New York Jets before being relieved of his position just five games into the 2024 season.^[2]^[3]

The 2025 offseason saw a number of significant departures in free agency, among them linebacker Dre Greenlaw, guard Aaron Banks, safety Talanoa Hufanga, and cornerback Charvarius Ward.^[4] Additionally, the 49ers traded wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders.^[5] This is the team's first season since 2018 without either Samuel or Greenlaw on its roster.

The 49ers entered the playoffs as a Wild Card team for the first time since 2021. They opened their playoff run by pulling off an upset and defeating the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card Round. They then faced the division rival and top-seeded Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round, where their season ended with a 41–6 blowout loss to the eventual Super Bowl champions, their second-most lopsided playoff defeat in franchise history behind only their 49–3 loss to the New York Giants during the 1986 NFC Divisional Round.

At the end of the season running back Christian McCaffrey won the AP Comeback Player of the Year award as he finished sixth in the league with 102 receptions for 924 yards to go with 1,202 rushing yards and 17 total touchdowns (10 rushing and 7 receiving). This was after he was limited to just four games the previous season^[6]. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was also nominated for AP NFL Coach of the Year for leading the 49ers to 12 wins and a playoff berth despite the team finishing with the 3rd most man games lost to injuries^[7].

The San Francisco 49ers drew an average home attendance of 71,422, the 9th-highest of all NFL teams.^[8]

Running back Christian McCaffrey faced his former team, the Carolina Panthers, whom he played for from 2017 to 2022, for the first time since being traded during the 2022 season.^[82] McCaffrey recorded 142 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown, helping the 49ers overcome three first-half interceptions by Purdy to secure the win.^[83]

Late in the game, Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig struck Jauan Jennings in the groin following a run play. After the game, Jennings responded by punching Moehrig in the helmet. The NFL subsequently suspended Moehrig for one game without pay, while Jennings was fined $12,172 for his actions.^[84] With the win, the 49ers finished 3–1 against the NFC South.

With their first Divisional Round loss since 2002, the 49ers' season came to an end. This also marked their first playoff loss to the Seahawks since 2013 and their first loss in Seattle since 2021. Beginning with the Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed returning the kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown on the opening play, they were dominated in all phases of the game. The 35-point margin of defeat marked their second largest playoff loss ever in franchise history, only behind a 49–3 shellacking against the Giants in the 1986 NFC Divisional Round.
