The Sacred Heart Pioneers football program is the intercollegiate American football team for the Sacred Heart University located in Fairfield, Connecticut. The team competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision level. In its most recent 2025 season, it was one of two NCAA Division I FCS independent schools. The school's first football team was fielded in 1991. The 2001 Sacred Heart Pioneers football team compiled a perfect 11–0 record and won the school's first conference championship. The team plays its home games at the 3,334-seat Campus Field.
The Pioneers started competing as an NCAA Division I FCS independent in 2024. Their departure from the Northeast Conference coincided with the move of the Sacred Heart Pioneers athletic program to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, which has not supported football competition since 2007. They joined the Merrimack Warriors football program, also joining the MAAC as a full member, as the only two schools competing in the 2024 NCAA Division I FCS football season independent of conference affiliation, and remained in that status in the 2025 season.
