The Kennesaw State Owls football represents Kennesaw State University in college football. The Owls team competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a member of Conference USA (CUSA). The team began play in 2015 as a member of the Big South Conference at the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level. In 2022, KSU's full-time home of the Atlantic Sun Conference (then officially branded as the ASUN Conference) launched an FCS football league, with KSU as one of its initial six members. After the 2022 season, KSU started the transition to the FBS,[2] in advance of the school's 2024 move to CUSA.[3]
The head coach of the Owls is Brian Bohannon, and the Owls play at Fifth Third Stadium just outside the city limits of Kennesaw, Georgia.
