List of colleges and universities with club football teams
This is a list of post-secondary colleges and universities that have club football teams. Operating independently of their colleges' athletics programs, these teams are typically administered, coached, and played by students. In addition to playing other club teams, they play against institution-supported football programs at the college, community college, and collegiate prep school level. The vast majority of such schools are in the NCAA. Several teams in the club football circuits are from colleges that belong to the NJCAA, the equivalent sanctioning body for two-year institutions; four club teams in Canada belong to U Sports, which governs Canadian university athletics; and there is at least one independent amateur squad, the Southwestern Connecticut Grizzlies, that plays in a collegiate club football circuit.
