The Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) announced its 2025 All-NFL, All-AFC and All-NFC teams, with multiple members of the San Francisco 49ers earning league-wide recognition for their performances during the 2025 season.

Running back Christian McCaffrey was named to the PFWA's 2025 All-NFL Team, marking the third All-NFL selection of his career (2019, 2023, 2025). He was also selected to the PFWA's All-NFC Team, making him one of the few players recognized on both the All-NFL and All-Conference teams this year.
