The New Mexico State Aggies football team represents New Mexico State University in NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision college football as an independent. Although New Mexico State is a member of the Western Athletic Conference for other sports, the WAC ceased to offer football as a sport after the 2012 season due to a realignment in which most of its football-playing members left for other conferences. After spending the 2013 season as an independent and 2014 to 2017 as a football–only member of the Sun Belt Conference, New Mexico State began playing as an independent again with the 2018 football season.
