The Jersey official football team represents the British Crown Dependency of Jersey in non-FIFA international matches.

The Jersey Football Association is affiliated to the English Football Association.

Jersey's main football stadium is Springfield Stadium located in Saint Helier, Jersey. Matches have been played at that site for over a century; the current stadium has grandstand capacity for 982.

The Jersey Men's Team's main fixtures are currently the annual Muratti Vase against fellow Channel Islanders Alderney and Guernsey. As of the 2025 Muratti Vase, Jersey has won the tournament 57 times out of the 107 times the tournament has been held.

The team participates in the biennial Island Games, having first entered in the 1991 Island Games. They have won the competition on four occasions, in 1993, 1997, 2009, and 2023.

As they are not affiliated to either FIFA or UEFA, the Jersey official football team is not eligible to take part in qualification for both the FIFA World Cup and the European Football Championship.

Players from Jersey are however known to be eligible for all four Home Nations national teams (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) in those competitions. Graeme Le Saux chose England among those options.

In December 2015 an application was submitted to UEFA to allow Jersey to take part in international matches, following on from Gibraltar's admission two years earlier. In October 2016, Jersey's bid to join UEFA was rejected, but this decision was appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in June 2017. In September 2017, the CAS ordered the UEFA Congress to hear Jersey's case. In February 2018 a majority of the member associations of UEFA voted against admitting Jersey as a member. An independent Parishes of Jersey team subsequently formed in August 2018, joining ConIFA in September that year.

In 2023, it was rumoured by Greenland Manager Morten Rutkjær, that Jersey were interested in joining CONCACAF.

A technically separate team operated by the island's top league, the Jersey Football Combination, have entered several editions of the FA Inter-League Cup against representative teams of various English tier 11 leagues and Crown Dependency leagues, winning the cup twice (2011–12 and 2019–20) and qualifying for an international UEFA tournament, the UEFA Regions' Cup, by virtue of that. Their best placement in the Regions' Cup has been being 2nd in their group in the 2013 UEFA Regions' Cup intermediary round. Many players have played on both Jersey teams, and some have played on both teams and on the Jersey Bulls that have entered the English league systems.

Players known to have played in the 2023 Island Games, the 2023 UEFA Regions' Cup, and for the Bulls in the 2024–25 Combined Counties Football League season include Adam Trotter, Euan van der Vliet, Jay Giles, Jonny Le Quesne, and Luke Campbell.

Squad was picked for the 2023 Island Games in July 2023.
