Athletics

Whether you’re at the court or in the stands, going to athletic events is one of the most exciting parts of the Temple experience. Students can get together, cheer on their favorite sports and show their Temple spirit. We’re home to 18 varsity sports teams. Although the upcoming season might look different for our athletic programs this year, the support and pride for our sports teams remains the same.

Temple students are able to receive one free ticket to all home Football and Men's and Women's Basketball games based on availability. All other sports are not ticketed. Learn more about information related to student ticketing.
