LONG ISLAND SHARKS FOOTBALL

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Long Island University's football program represents one of the Northeast Conference's newest Division I-FCS competitors, operating from campuses in Brooklyn and Brookville, New York that together enroll 16,322 students. Founded in 1926, LIU brings metropolitan New York's storied athletic tradition to the FCS level, competing in a conference that spans the Northeast corridor. The Sharks field a competitive roster across their fall season, drawing from the substantial student body across both campuses to build their program's foundation.

Operating at the FCS level within the Northeast Conference structure, the Sharks compete against established regional programs while establishing their identity within Division I football. LIU's dual-campus system provides geographic flexibility and access to talent pools across the greater New York metropolitan area, one of the nation's largest recruiting markets. The program continues building its competitive infrastructure and roster depth to compete effectively in the Northeast Conference's challenging fall schedule, with coaching staff directing long-term development efforts for this growing Division I program.
