As of September 6, 2025 Rankings from AP Poll |
The 2025 UConn Huskies football team will represent the University of Connecticut (UConn) as an independent during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by fourth-year head coach Jim L. Mora, the Huskies will play home games at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut.
UConn reached an agreement in 2020 to play Ohio State at Ohio Stadium in September 2025. That game was canceled in June 2024, with Ohio State agreeing to pay UConn $650,000; UConn was originally scheduled to receive $1.95 million for playing the game. [1]
