The Gators play their home games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida, and compete in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They will be led by first-year head coach Billy Napier.[1]

Previous season

After a 2020 season in which Florida spent most of year ranked in the AP top 10, the Gators began the 2021 season with a #13 ranking and expectations of again being a serious contender for a conference championship. However, a series of upset losses, historically poor defensive showings, and apparent discontent within the program resulted in a losing record and the dismissal of fourth year head coach Dan Mullen with one game remaining in the regular season.[2] Assistant Greg Knox led the Gators on an interim basis in their win over rival Florida State and their loss against UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl to wrap up a disappointing 6-7 campaign. Louisiana head coach Billy Napier was named Florida's new head coach on November 28, 2021.[3]
