Ohio Valley Conference - Football

The Ohio Valley Conference administers NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision football for eight football-playing member institutions. Beginning with the 2026 season, those programs again compete under the traditional OVC football name and logo after three seasons in association with the Big South Conference. The conference publishes schedules, standings, statistics, weekly releases, a record book and historical archives; its 2026 record book contains the full history of OVC football. The OVC also partners with the Nashville Sports Council, Vanderbilt University and the City of Nashville to host the 2026 and 2027 NCAA Division I FCS Championship games at FirstBank Stadium.
