The UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros football team will represent the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) in U.S. college football as a future member of the Southland Conference in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). They will begin play at that level in 2025, after an exhibition schedule in 2024. They are coached by Travis Bush.
The team traces its history to the Broncs (short for Broncos), which represented the University of Texas–Pan American (UTPA) – which merged with the University of Texas at Brownsville in 2015 to create The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV).
