The 2025 New Haven Chargers football team represented the University of New Haven as a first-year member of the Northeast Conference (NEC) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Chargers were led by first-year head coach Mark Powell and played home games at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium in West Haven, Connecticut. This season was the first of New Haven's four-year transition from NCAA Division II, and therefore they were ineligible for Northeast Conference championships and the FCS playoffs.
