The Texas Longhorns represent the University of Texas at Austin in NCAA Division I athletics, with a storied tradition spanning over 100 years. The programme encompasses 20 varsity sports teams and has earned 66 national championships across various disciplines, making it one of the most successful athletic departments in collegiate sports.
On 1 July 2024, the Longhorns officially joined the Southeastern Conference (SEC), marking a historic shift in collegiate athletics. Under Athletic Director Chris Del Conte's leadership, Texas brought impressive credentials to the SEC, including the conference's highest number of Olympic medals (156) and the most recent LEARFIELD Directors' Cup victories, having won three of the last four. Their final Big 12 season in 2023-24 was remarkable, securing NCAA Championships in volleyball and rowing, alongside runner-up finishes in multiple sports.
The Longhorns' passionate fanbase, known for their "Hook 'em Horns" hand signal and burnt orange colours, creates one of the most energetic atmospheres in college sports. Home games at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium regularly draw crowds exceeding 100,000 supporters, whilst the Texas Exes alumni network spans globally, demonstrating the programme's far-reaching influence.
Texas athletics' rich history includes legendary figures such as Darrell Royal, who led the football team to three national championships, and basketball coach Jody Conradt, who pioneered women's athletics. The Longhorns' trademark longhorn symbol and "The Eyes of Texas" school song have become iconic elements of collegiate sports culture since their introduction in the early 1900s.
