There are two professional [[association football|football]] teams representing the city: [[Coventry City F.C.]] of the [[EFL Championship]] in men's football and [[Coventry United L.F.C.|Coventry United]] L.F.C. of the [[FA Women's Championship]] in women's football.

[[Coventry City F.C.]], formed in 1883 as "Singers F.C.". Nicknamed the ''Sky Blues'', the club competes in the [[EFL Championship]] (second tier of English football), but spent 34 years from 1967 to 2001 in the top tier of English football, winning the [[FA Cup]] in 1987. They were founder members of the [[Premier League]] in 1992. In 2005, Coventry City moved to the 32,600 capacity [[Ricoh Arena]] which opened in the Rowleys Green district of the city. The 2013–14 season saw the football club begin a ground share with [[Northampton Town F.C.]] at [[Sixfields Stadium]], [[Northampton]], which lasted until their return to the Ricoh Arena in September 2014. The 2019–20 season saw the Sky Blues once again playing their home fixtures out of Coventry, at [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]]'s [[St Andrew's (stadium)|St Andrew's Stadium]]. This arrangement continued until August 2021, when Coventry moved back to the newly renamed Coventry Building Society Arena.

Coventry United L.F.C. play at the Butts Park Arena and were originally Coventry City Ladies before the Sky Blues discontinued their women's team, at which point they affiliated with Coventry United, and rose through the divisions to their current position in the second-tier of the women's game.

Aside from these clubs, there are several other clubs in the city playing non-league football. [[Coventry Sphinx]], [[Coventry Alvis F.C.|Coventry Alvis]], [[Coventry Copsewood]] and [[Coventry United]] all play in the [[Midland Football League (2014)|Midland Football League]].

Both [[Coventry University]] and the [[University of Warwick]] compete in the [[British Universities and Colleges Sport]] (BUCS) football competitions. For the 2014–15 season, the Coventry University men's 1st team compete in BUCS Midlands 1a, while the University of Warwick men's 1st team competes in BUCS Midlands 2a. Both institutions' women's 1st teams both play in BUCS Midlands 2a.
