The 2025 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season was the 67th season for the team in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and their 92nd season overall. The Blue Bombers qualified for the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season following an Edmonton Elks loss to the BC Lions in week 20.[1] However, the Blue Bombers were unable to play in the Grey Cup that was being hosted by Winnipeg as the team lost the East Semi-Final to the Montreal Alouettes by a score of 42–33.

The 2025 CFL season was the 11th season under head coach Mike O'Shea and the 11th full season under general manager Kyle Walters.[2]

This was the first sold-out regular season in franchise history, with attendances of 32,343 at each of the 9 home games.[3]
