  • UC Davis said Tuesday the university has accepted an invitation to join the Mountain West Conference for most of the sports in its athletics program beginning with the 2026-27 academic year.

The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has announced its intention to join the Mountain West Conference as a full member starting in the 2026-27 academic year. This move will see UC Davis transitioning from the Big West Conference, where it has been a member since 2007. The decision to join the Mountain West Conference is driven by the desire to enhance the university's athletic programs, increase competitive opportunities, and expand its geographical footprint. The Mountain West Conference, known for its strong football and basketball programs, will provide UC Davis with a platform to elevate its sports profile. This shift also aligns with UC Davis's strategic plan to foster growth in its athletic department, offering student-athletes better resources and exposure. The transition will involve UC Davis competing in all sports offered by the Mountain West, potentially leading to new rivalries and increased visibility for the university's sports teams.
