CALIFORNIA BRUINS FOOTBALL

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Located in Los Angeles and founded in 1919, UCLA fields a football program that draws from a student-athlete roster of 1,372 players competing at the FBS level. As a member of the Big Ten Conference, the Bruins compete during the fall season in one of college football's most competitive athletic landscapes. UCLA's program has historically been among the Pacific region's most prominent, though the program continues to develop under current coaching staff as it transitions into its conference affiliation.

Playing their home games at their established venue, the Bruins represent one of Southern California's flagship athletic programs with deep roots in the Los Angeles community. The 1919 founding year places UCLA among the earlier established college football programs in the region. With over 1,300 student-athletes on the roster, the program maintains the depth typical of FBS competition while balancing the academic demands of one of the nation's premier universities.
