NAIA independent football schools are four-year institutional members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) that play college football independent of any formal conference affiliation.[1] In sports other than football, these schools compete in a college athletic conference affiliated with the NAIA called Continental Athletic Conference.
NAIA football independents
Currently, no schools compete as NAIA independents in football. The most recent football independent was Simpson University, who competed as such during the 2024 football season; however, they joined the Frontier Conference as a football affiliate for 2025 and beyond.
