The Washington Huskies football team represents the University of Washington in college football. Washington competed in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) as a member of the Big Ten Conference, after having been a charter member of the Pac-12 Conference until the end of the 2023-2024 season. Husky Stadium, located on campus in Seattle, has been the Huskies' home field since 1920.
Washington has won 18 conference championships, seven Rose Bowls, and claims two national championships recognized by NCAA-designated major selectors.[3][4] Of these however, Washington's only national championship was in 1991, when the team finished No. 1 in the Coaches' Poll.[5][6][7] The school's all-time record ranks 22nd by win percentage and 18th by total victories among FBS schools as of 2023.[3] Washington holds the FBS record for the longest unbeaten streak at 64 consecutive games, as well as the second-longest winning streak at 40 wins in a row.[3] There have been a total of 13 unbeaten seasons in school history, including eight perfect seasons.[3]
Washington was one of four charter members of what became the Pac-12 Conference and, along with California, was one of only two schools with uninterrupted membership until the 2024 conference realignment.[8] From 1977 through 2003, Washington had 27 consecutive non-losing seasons—the most of any team in the Pac-12 and the 14th longest streak by an NCAA Division I-A team.[3] Through the 2023 season, its 422 conference victories rank second in conference history.[8]
Washington is often referred to as one of the top Quarterback U's due to the long history of quarterbacks playing in the National Football League (NFL), including the second-most QB starts in NFL history.[9][10] Dating back to Warren Moon in 1976, 17 of the last 23 quarterbacks who have led the team in passing for at least one season have gone on to play in the NFL.
