NFL Champion Chicago Cardinals
NFL season
 <1924 1926> 

The NFL season in 1925 was the sixth season of American Football League National Football League (NFL). The champions of the league were the Chicago Cardinals .

With the Detroit Panthers , New York Giants , the Pottsville Maroons and the Providence Steam Roller four new teams entered. The re-established Canton Bulldogs also took part in the championship again. Three teams from the previous year did not play in the 1925 season.

The Pootsville Maroons claimed the championship title for themselves at the end of the season. The Maroons had won ten out of 12 games, while the Chicago Cardinals had won 11 games, lost two and drew one game in the same season.

Having beaten the Frankford Yellow Jackets , the Maroons were entitled to a friendly with the University of Notre Dame's All-Star team . As a result, there was a dispute with the Frankford Yellow Jackets, because the game was played in Philadelphia and thus the territorial claim of this team was violated. As a result, the Maroons were suspended from the NFL and the Cardinals declared champions.

The discussion about the championship in 1925 lasted until modern times. In 2003 the NFL decided, due to a unanimous vote of the team owners, not to withdraw the championship from the Cardinals. Statistically, the Maroons won only 83.3% of their games during the season, while the Cardinals won 84.6% of their games. They are therefore also statistically the champions of the NFL in the 1925 season.
