The University of Houston Cougars football program, commonly referred to as UH football, is the NCAA Division I FBS team representing the University of Houston. As a member of the Big 12 Conference, the team plays its home games at the on-campus TDECU Stadium. The program has a notable history, including 11 conference championships and the distinction of having a Heisman Trophy winner among its alumni inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
UH football has gained recent attention due to its strong performance in the 2025 season under head coach Willie Fritz. The team achieved a notable 8-2 record and earned a No. 23 ranking in the College Football Playoff standings, positioning it for potential postseason opportunities. This successful season has been a significant storyline in college football coverage.
