About Abilene Christian Wildcats football

The Abilene Christian Wildcats football program is the intercollegiate American football team for the Abilene Christian University located in the U.S. state of Texas. The team was a member of the Southland Conference through the 2020–21 season, but joined the Western Athletic Conference in July 2021, coinciding with that league's reinstatement of football as an official conference sport. After the 2022 season, the WAC fully merged its football league with that of the Atlantic Sun Conference, creating what eventually became the United Athletic Conference, and ACU accordingly moved its football team to the new league. In July 2026, the football-only UAC was merged into the WAC, which adopted the United Athletic Conference name with Abilene Christian as a continuing member. The school's first football team was fielded in 1919. The team plays its home games at the on-campus Anthony Field at Wildcat Stadium.
