The TCU Horned Frogs football team is the intercollegiate football team of Texas Christian University. TCU competes as a member of the Mountain West Conference in the NCAA'sDivision 1 Football Bowl Subdivision, but will move to the Big 12 Conference for the 2012 season. TCU began playing football in 1896 and has won two national championships (1935,1938). TCU has one Heisman Trophy winner, Davey O'Brien, and has had 11 former players inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

TCU was reckoned as a major power in college football throughout the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, when it was a member of the now defunct Southwest Conference. However, the program fell from national prominence in the 1960s, and did not achieve a sustained recovery until the late 1990s. Under current head coach Gary Patterson TCU has reclaimed a national prominence and has finished in the AP Poll Top 10 four times in the past six years including a number 2 finish in 2010. TCU has one of the best won-loss records in the FBS in the 21st Century.

The Horned Frogs play their home games in Amon G. Carter Stadium, which is located on campus in Fort Worth.
