The Utah State Aggies football team represents Utah State University (USU) in college football at the NCAA Division I FBS level. The Aggies compete in the Mountain West Conference (MWC) and will join the Pac-12 Conference in 2026. Established in 1892, Utah State is one of the oldest football programs in the western United States and has played its home games at Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah since 1968.

Utah State has won thirteen conference championships across four different leagues, most recently in 2021. It has produced multiple All-Americans, a Professional Football Hall of Fame inductee Merlin Olsen, and numerous NFL players. The program's modern era has been marked by periods of national recognition, including Top-25 finishes, division titles, and bowl victories in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2018, and 2021.

On July 2, 2024, defensive coordinator Nate Dreiling was named interim head coach after head coach Blake Anderson was placed on administrative leave and subsequently terminated for alleged violations of reporting requirements. In December 2024, Utah State hired former BYU and Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall to lead the program, signing him to a six-year, $12.9 million contract beginning with the 2025 season.

The Aggies have appeared in eighteen bowl games, winning six: the 2021 LA Bowl against the Oregon State Beavers, the 2018 and 2014 New Mexico Bowls, the 2013 Poinsettia Bowl, the 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, and the 1993 Las Vegas Bowl against the Ball State Cardinals.
