The 2025 season will be the Indianapolis Colts' 73rd in the National Football League (NFL), their 42nd in Indianapolis, and their 18th playing their home games at Lucas Oil Stadium. It will also be their ninth under the leadership of general managerChris Ballard and their third under head coachShane Steichen. They will attempt to improve on their 8–9 record from last year, make the playoffs after a four-year absence, and end their ten-year AFC South title drought. Following the death of owner Jim Irsay on May 21, 2025, this will be the first season of ownership split among his three daughters, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Kalen Jackson, and Casey Foyt.[1][2] On May 27, 2025, the Colts announced that they would add Jim Irsay patches to their uniforms throughout the entire season in his honor.[3]
