The Texas State Bobcats football program is the intercollegiate team representing Texas State University in college football at the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level. As of the 2026 season, they play in the Pac-12 Conference (Pac-12). The program began in 1904 and has an overall winning record. The program has a total of 14 conference titles, nine of them being outright conference titles. Home games are played at Bobcat Stadium in San Marcos, Texas.

Given that the school has grown to become the fourth-largest university in Texas (2025), and one of the 75 largest universities in the United States, it has now taken its football program to the Football Bowl Subdivision of NCAA football.

The team became a member of the FBS Western Athletic Conference in 2012. After only one season in the WAC, Texas State moved to the Sun Belt Conference. Texas State joined the league in July 2013 and began conference play for the 2013–14 academic year.

In July 2025, it was announced that the Bobcats would be joining the rebuilt Pac-12 Conference in time for the 2026 football season.
