On July 17, 2025, during the virtual Big Sky Kickoff, the Aggies were predicted to finish second in the Big Sky by the coaches and third by the media.
On August 23, UC Davis was set to play in the FCS Kickoff in their first of three nationally televised games this season. With just 7:46 left in the fourth quarter, and Mercer having the ball with a 1st-and-10 at the UC Davis 48-yard line, the game was suspended due to lightning. In the early morning hours of August 24, it was announced that the game would not resume, and that both teams had agreed to declare it a no contest despite the Aggies leading 23–17.
