The Cincinnati Bearcats football program represents the University of Cincinnati in college football. They compete at the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision level as members of the American Athletic Conference, a so-called "Group of Five" conference, although that will change with the move to the Big 12 for the 2023 season. They have played their home games in historic and renovated Nippert Stadium since 1924. The Bearcats have an all-time record of over .500, having reached their 600th program victory in 2017. The program has had a resurgence in recent years. After joining the Big East for the 2005 season, the Bearcats have gone 146–71, along with 13 bowl game appearances, 7 conference titles, 4 BCS/NY6 Bowl berths, and 29 NFL Draft selections.
