The Mercer Bears football program represents Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, competing in NCAA Division I's Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) as a member of the Southern Conference. The team hosts its home games at the 10,200-seat Five Star Stadium on the university's campus, maintaining a presence in collegiate athletics since its modern revival in 2013.

Mercer football is notable as a competitive FCS program that has steadily built its profile within the Southern Conference. While not traditionally a national powerhouse, the team has developed a respectable program that occasionally challenges larger opponents, contributing to the competitive landscape of mid-major college football.

Recently, Mercer has gained attention due to its scheduled matchup against Auburn University, a prominent Football Bowl Subdivision program, in late November 2025. Multiple sports media outlets have covered this game, focusing on viewing information, broadcast details, and analysis of the matchup. The coverage has included discussions about Mercer's offensive capabilities and the financial aspects of the inter-divisional game, highlighting the increased visibility such contests bring to the program.
