SFU played just four Great Northwest Athletic Conference games in 2021.

The university opened the new SFU Stadium on Terry Fox Field in September 2021, the first permanent outdoor stadium on the Burnaby campus. Average attendance for those two home games were 1,300.

The Lone Star Conference is one of the strongest of the 17 football conferences in NCAA Division II, featuring teams from Texas and New Mexico. In Nov. 2021, SFU along with Central Washington and Western Oregon, accepted invitations to join the conference as affiliate members in football beginning with the 2022 season, expanding the conference to include Canada's NCAA football team, and the only NCAA Div. 2 football programs in Washington State and Oregon.

The addition of the GNAC's football programs will make the Lone Star a 10-team conference in football.
