    The 1956 Kearney State Antelopes football team was an American football team that represented Kearney State Teachers College (later renamed University of Nebraska at Kearney) as a member of the Nebraska College Conference (NCC) during the 1956 NAIA football season. In their second season under head coach Allen H. Zikmund, the Antelopes compiled a perfect 9–0 record (7–0 against NCC opponents), won the NCC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 255 to 66.[1]

    The 1956 season was one of four perfect seasons in the history of the Kearney football program, along with the 1941, 1958, and 1967 seasons.
