UConn Huskies - Football

UConn Huskies football represents the University of Connecticut in NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision competition. The NCAA lists UConn as an active Division I institution; while its other athletics programmes are associated with the BIG EAST, football schedules as an FBS independent. The Huskies play home games at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut, and publish their roster, schedule, statistics and news through the official UConn Athletics website. Jason Candle became the programme's head coach for the 2026 season, beginning a new era with a 56-7 home win over Lafayette. The victory set a UConn school record with 671 total yards and gave Candle his first win at the university. Through four games of the published 2026 schedule, UConn stood 2-2 after wins over Lafayette and Southern Miss and losses to Maryland and Miami (Ohio). The remaining schedule included Syracuse, Temple, Massachusetts, Air Force, North Carolina, James Madison, Old Dominion and Wyoming. The 2026 campaign was UConn football's sixth season carried by CBS Sports Network.
