UNLV Rebels football

The UNLV Rebels are the college football team representing the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, competing in the Mountain West Conference. Founded in 1968, the program has grown alongside the university itself, building a following in the Las Vegas sports scene as one of the city's few major college athletics programs.

Playing NCAA Division I football, the Rebels bring the energy of college gridiron competition to a city better known for entertainment and nightlife, giving fans a chance to experience the pageantry of tailgating, marching bands, and student spirit. Their conference schedule pits them against other Mountain West programs in a season-long chase for bowl eligibility and conference standing.

As a program tied closely to the university's identity, UNLV Rebels football games serve as a communal gathering point for students, alumni, and locals alike, offering the classic American college football experience in the heart of Las Vegas.
