The 2007 Florida Gators football team will represent the University of Florida in the 2007 college football season. This is the team's third season under head coach Urban Meyer. They will play their home games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida.
The Gators have to replace nine of 11 starters from their championship defense. While the offense lost far fewer starters from that game (5), starting quarterback Chris Leak must be replaced. Leak will most likely be replaced by Tim Tebow, who shared quarterback duties with him last season but has zero career starts. The coaching staff remained intact after 2006, which gives Meyer a third straight season at Florida with the same coaching staff, and the Gators have a good shot at repeating with the help of their great recruiting class, which was ranked number one in the nation by recruiting websites Rivlas and Scout.com.

Western Kentucky fills the void left by Central Florida, who backed out of being the Gators' opener in December 2006. This will be the first game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium since before the Gators won their 2006 SEC and national championships.
