The 2021 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team represented the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in the 2021 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Rainbow Warriors played their home games on the campus at the Clarence T. C. Ching Athletics Complex as members of the West Division of the Mountain West Conference.[1] They were led by second-year head coach Todd Graham.
Despite losing three straight games en route to finishing the regular season 6–7 overall, the team was invited to play in the Hawaii Bowl as a conditionally-eligible team after the NCAA added an extra bowl game to the schedule.[2] The team accepted the bid on December 3, 2021,[3] marking the team's fourth consecutive postseason appearance, a new program record. However, due to a COVID-19 outbreak, season-ending injuries, and transfers, the team was forced to withdraw the day before the game, marking the Hawaii Bowl’s second consecutive cancellation.[4]
Previous season[]
The Rainbow Warriors finished the 2020 season 5–4 overall and 4–4 in Mountain West conference play. They accepted an invite to play in the New Mexico Bowl against the University of Houston, where they defeated Houston by a score of 28–14.[5]
It also marked the 46th and final season at Aloha Stadium, as the stadium closed its doors for spectator-driven events on December 17, 2020, after its safety was once again brought into question. The university announced the team would play games on campus for the first time ever on April 12, 2021, launching a campaign to upgrade the Ching Athletics Complex for around $8.3 million, increasing its capacity to 9,000 for the upcoming season. If zoning permits are approved, the plan is to increase capacity to 15,000 starting in 2022.
It will be the first time Hawaii will play football in Honolulu proper since 1974, when the team played at the Honolulu Stadium from 1926 to 1974.
