The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks football program is the intercollegiate American football team for the Northern Arizona University located in the U.S. state of Arizona. The team competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and are members of the Big Sky Conference. The school's first football team was fielded in 1931. The team plays its home games at the 17,500 seat Walkup Skydome. They are coached by Jerome Souers.
The Lumberjacks have maintained numerous rivalries with their western counterparts. Competition has not only been limited to the west. The Lumberjacks have also taken on eastern programs such as the Ole Miss Rebels, Florida Atlantic Owls, and the Appalachian State Mountaineers.
The University of Idaho will rejoin the Big Sky Conference as a football member in 2018 when they fully transition from the FBS to FCS.
California State University, Northridge dropped its football program after the 2001 season and moved to the Big West Conference.
