Rankings from The Sports Network poll

The 2000 Hofstra Pride football team represented Hofstra University during the 2000 NCAA Division I-AA football season. It was the program's 60th season, and they competed as an Independent.[1][2] The Pride earned a berth into the 16-team Division I-AA playoffs, but lost in the quarterfinals to eventual national champion Georgia Southern, 48–20.[1] They finished #7 in the final national poll and were led by 11th-year head coach Joe Gardi.

The 2000 season was the first in which Hofstra went by the nickname "Pride."[3] The previous spring, the school decided to change the nickname for their sports teams from Flying Dutchmen and Flying Dutchwomen to go into effect the 2000–01 school year.[4]
