Utah Valley Wolverines

The Utah Valley Wolverines represent Utah Valley University in NCAA Division I collegiate athletics and sponsor 16 sporting programs. The Wolverines participate in the Western Athletic Conference. The school mascot is the Wolverine, and the colors are green and white. Since 2017, the UVU student section is called The Den, having previously been referred to as The Mawl.

Utah Valley State College was originally a member of the NJCAA and moved to NCAA Division I athletics in 2003. Utah Valley is the only school in NCAA history to move directly from the NJCAA to Division I.[citation needed] The school joined the Great West Conference in 2008 and was renamed to Utah Valley University in the same year. The Wolverines became a full Division I member in the 2009–10 season following a five-year transition period as a Division I independent.

They won the GWC Commissioner's Cup each year they have competed in the conference. Each year the Cup is awarded to the institution that performed best overall in GWC-sponsored sports. They joined the Western Athletic Conference July 1, 2013.

UVU officially accepted an invitation to join the Western Athletic Conference in all sports (with the exception of wrestling) on October 9, 2012. They became a full member on July 1, 2013, and began WAC play in the 2013–14 school year. With this move, UVU also added men's soccer in 2014. The school's wrestling team remained a member of the Western Wrestling Conference (WWC) through the 2014–15 school year. The WWC then disbanded when all of its members accepted an offer of single-sport membership in the Big 12 Conference.

In March 2025, both UVU and fellow WAC conference member California Baptist received an invitation to join the Big West Conference beginning in the 2026–27 academic year.

Utah Valley University currently sponsors eight men's and eight women's teams in NCAA sanctioned sports:

The baseball team plays at UCCU Ballpark, a 2,500-seat facility (3,000 additional fans can sit on a grass berm that wraps around third base and left field, bringing total capacity to 5,500) that opened on March 25, 2005. UCCU Ballpark was also the home of the Orem Owlz, a minor-league affiliate of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, that competed in the Pioneer Baseball League.

The Wolverines play their home basketball games in the 8,500-seat Utah Community Credit Union Center. The men's basketball team finished the 2008–09 season with a 17–11 record, which capped off its 26th winning season in a row. The team is coached by Todd Phillips.
