Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) je najviša razina NCAA američkog nogometa. Škole u Diviziji I FBS mogu se natjecati u bowl utakmicama. U bowl utakmicama automatski se natječu pobjednici 5 najjačih konferencija.
Škole su ograničene na 85 stipendija koje mogu dati igračima.
Od nadolazeće 2017. godine, bit će 129 članova FBS-a, zato što se Sveučilište Alabama u Birminghamu (UAB) vraća u FBS nakon što je 2014. otišlo u FCS, a dvije škole (Sveučilište Coastal Carolina i Sveučilište Liberty) su trenutno u procesu pristupanja. Coastal Carolina pristupa konferenciji Sun Belt, a Liberty postaje NCAA nezavisni.
