Brutal Sports Football is an arcade-style football video game developed by Teque London and originally published by Millennium Interactive for the Commodore Amiga in 1993. It is the first entry in the Brutal Sports Series franchise, which continued with Wild Cup Soccer in 1994, also from the same development team.

Featuring a different take on football, Brutal Sports Football puts heavy emphasis on the violent aspect of the sport and it resembles war as much as a sports competition. Initially released on the Amiga computers, it was later ported to MS-DOS, Amiga CD32 and Atari Jaguar, with the latter being published by Telegames instead and became the first third-party title released for the system. The Jaguar version was also released in Japan by Messe Sansao in July 1995.

Brutal Sports Football received mostly positive reception since its release on the Amiga, with many reviewers favorably comparing it to Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe from The Bitmap Brothers.

Brutal Sports Football is a seven-a-side football game, similar to Mutant League Football, in which it deviates from other american football titles released at the time in several ways. While following the same basic gameplay featured in other football simulators, including the ability of tackling players and lob the oval-shaped football into the goalpost, there are no rules once a match starts and characters not in possession can actually hit opponents with or without the ball and even kill them, resulting in a more bloodier and arcade-styled gameplay approach of the sport. The game also features item and weapon pick-ups randomly scattered across the main playfield that players can use against opponents or affecting them. Each match lasts seven minutes and features two ways of finishing them, by either scoring higher than the other team or killing six of seven teammates from the opposite side. If either requirement is not meet, players go immediately into sudden death, where they have to kill six out of seven opponents in order to win the game.
