The William & Mary Tribe are a college football team representing the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. William & Mary currently competes in the Colonial Athletic Association of the NCAA's Division I Football Championship Subdivision. Jimmye Laycock is in his 38th year as the Tribe's head coach. Laycock is a W&M alumnus and played quarterback under College Football Hall of Fame coaches Marv Levy and Lou Holtz.

William & Mary's traditional rival in football is the University of Richmond. William & Mary and Richmond have met 120 times since 1898, making the rivalry (sometimes referred to as "the South's oldest rivalry") the fourth most-played in Division I college football. Only Wisconsin-Minnesota, Lafayette–Lehigh, PrincetonYale, and Harvard–Yale have played more games. The winner of this annual W&M–Richmond match-up, named for the last two Virginia state capitals, Richmond and Williamsburg, claims the Capital Cup (previously known as the I-64 Trophy). In 2008, William & Mary opened the Jimmye Laycock Football Center, a state-of-the-art facility housing the Tribe locker room, football players' classroom study sessions and tape review rooms.

The College of William & Mary has transitioned through several official nicknames since its athletic program began in 1893. From 1893 to 1916, William & Mary football players were known as the Orange and White because those were the old official school colors. From 1916 to 1977, all William & Mary athletes were known as the Indians. And, most recently, from 1978 to the present day they have been known as the Tribe.
