NCAA Division III in the Conference of New England. The university fields 20 varsity sports. They formerly participated in the Division I America East Conference until the 2023–4 academic year.
In 2021, the University of Hartford announced it will begin the process to move all of its 17 athletic programs from Division I to Division III. Students and alumni from the University of Hartford attempted to sue the university, claiming that the university "reneged on its commitment" to the student-athletes. The university filed its intent to move to Division III in January 2022 and is expected to become a member of DIII no later than September 1, 2025, unless the move is halted in the courts.
