A member of the Ivy League, our approach to sports goes beyond wins and losses. Penn athletics are built on character first, and on the continued development of young adults who are both students and athletes.

Varsity Sports

As an original member of the NCAA Division 1 Athletics League, Penn has a rich sports history. Across campus and throughout Philadelphia, our athletes support each other, learn leadership skills, and have a positive impact on the community. Athletics is a large part of our campus culture, bringing members of the Penn community together in pride, competitive spirit, and camaraderie as they cheer on our Quakers!

With a commitment to providing a well-rounded athletic experience, we offer a broad range of varsity sports for both men and women.
