The South Dakota Coyotes football team represents the University of South Dakota in college football. The team competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision as a member of the Missouri Valley Football Conference. The Coyotes play their home games at the 9,100-seat DakotaDome near the University's campus in Vermillion, South Dakota.
South Dakota first fielded a football team in 1889, and became one of the charter members of the North Central Conference in 1922, where they remained for the next 86 years. During their time in the NCC, the Coyotes won 10 conference titles, qualified for the Division II playoffs four times, and reached the 1986 National Championship game, losing to the North Dakota State Bison 27-7. The Coyotes moved up to the Division I FCS level in 2008, joining the Great West Conference initially, before entering the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2012. Initially struggling in the Valley, the team found their footing under head coach Bob Nielson, reaching four FCS playoffs from 2017 to 2024. The Coyotes won their first Missouri Valley title and reached their first FCS semifinal in school history in 2024.
