2025 New York Jets season

The 2025 season was the New York Jets' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall and their first under general managerDarren Mougey and head coachAaron Glenn. This season began with the team's fourth head coach in eight seasons.

The team failed to improve on their 5–12 record from the previous season following a 29–6 blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 16 and instead went 3–14 for their worst season since 2020. The Jets were the last winless team in the NFL, losing their first seven games before earning their first victory against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. This season began with the team's fifth quarterback starting on opening day in six seasons. The Jets clinched their 10th consecutive losing season after a 23–10 loss on the road to the Baltimore Ravens. New York was also eliminated from playoff contention for the 15th straight year after a Week 14 blowout loss to their division rivalMiami Dolphins while also clinching the franchise's sixth consecutive season with ten losses or more and got swept by their division rivals for the third time in six seasons. The Jets forced a mere 4 opponent turnovers in the entire season, the lowest of any NFL team since the AFL-NFL merger, breaking the previous record of 7 set by the 2018 San Francisco 49ers. The Jets also became infamous as the first team in NFL history to not record an interception in an entire season since the NFL began tracking them in 1933, as all four of their forced turnovers were fumble recoveries. The Jets' −203 point differential was their worst since they got outscored 457–243 in 2020. The Jets got outscored by 107 points in December, which is an NFL record, breaking the record previously set by the 2016 team, who got outscored by 84 in December. They also finished last place in the AFC East for the first time since 2022.

After the Buffalo Sabres of the NHL clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2011, the Jets officially hold sole possession of the longest active playoff appearance drought in the four major sports leagues.

On November 4, 2025, the Jets traded away All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts and All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys for multiple first and second round selections.

For the first time since 2021, not a single Jet made the Pro Bowl. The Jets had a four-year aggregate record of 22–46 (.324) from 2022 to 2025, the worst four-year stretch for the franchise since they went 20–47 (.299) from 2020 to 2023.

The New York Jets drew an average home attendance of 73,666, the 5th-highest of all NFL teams.
