UT Arlington Athletics competes in the highest level of collegiate sports and is a proud NCAA member with 16 Division-I teams: men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s golf and women’s flag football.

On May 15, 2025, UTA announced the addition of women’s flag football that is set to begin play in Spring 2027. UTA becomes just the fifth NCAA Division I university to add the sport (Alabama State, Long Island, Mercyhurst and Mount St. Mary's), and the third program in the state of Texas across all levels to do so (Concordia, Texas Wesleyan). There are currently over 50 colleges and universities nation-wide offering women's flag football as a varsity sport (NAIA, NCAA Divisions I, II, and III), while 65 NCAA schools across all three divisions sponsor women's flag football either at the varsity or club level. Women's flag football is set to debut at the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.
