The Colorado Buffaloes football program represents the University of Colorado Boulder in college football at the NCAA Division I FBS level. The team is currently a member of the Pac-12 Conference, having previously been a charter member of the Big 12 Conference. Before joining the Big 12, they were members of the Big Eight Conference. The CU football team has played at Folsom Field since 1924. The Buffs all-time record is 694–493–36 (.583 winning percentage) prior to the Valero Alamo Bowl at the end of the 2016 season. Colorado won a National Championship in 1990. The football program is 23rd on the all-time win list and 30th in all-time winning percentage. The football team also has the distinction of being the all-time NCAA leader in 4th down conversions. They are one of two NCAA Division I teams to complete a 5th down conversion (the other being Cornell). This was a result of a mistake by the officials and happened on a play displayed by chaincrew as the 4th down.

Beginning in 1890, Colorado football has enjoyed much success throughout its 125+ years of competitive play. The Buffaloes have won numerous bowl games (28 appearances in bowl games (12–16), 36th all-time), eight Colorado Football Association Championships (1894–97, 1901–1903, 1908), Colorado Faculty Athletic Conference (1909), eight RFMAC Championships (1910–11, 1913, 1923–24, 1934–35, 1937), four Mountain States Conference Championships (1939, 1942–44), five Big Eight conference championships (1961, 1976, 1989–91), one Big 12 conference championship (2001), four Big 12 North Division Championships (2001–02, 2004–05), and a National Championship (1990, Associated Press).

Folsom Field was built in 1924, and since then, Colorado has a 308–169–14 record at home through the 2016 season. The road game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on November 24, 2006 was Colorado's 1,100th football game. The game on September 12, 2015 against Massachusetts was the school's 1,200th football game.
