# 2025 Buffalo Bills season

The 2025 season will be the Buffalo Bills' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their eleventh full season under the ownership of Terry and Kim Pegula, and their ninth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. The Bills will look to improve on their 2024 record of 13–4 and achieve their seventh straight winning season. It will also mark the Bills' final season playing their home games at their current Highmark Stadium, as their New Highmark Stadium will open in time for the 2026 season. For the first time since 2016, safety Micah Hyde will not be on the roster, as he announced his retirement on January 27.
