The UT Arlington Mavericks represent the University of Texas at Arlington in NCAA Division I athletics. The basketball programs are part of the university's 15 varsity sports teams that compete in the Western Athletic Conference. This will change in the 2026/27 academic year when the athletic department's membership transfers to the newly expanded United Athletic Conference, coinciding with the addition of women's flag football.
The basketball teams are notable as a competitive program within the WAC and the broader landscape of Texas collegiate sports. Their upcoming transition to the United Athletic Conference is part of a significant conference realignment, which will see UT Arlington become one of the conference's full members that does not sponsor a traditional football program.
Recently, UT Arlington basketball has been in the news due to the ongoing 2025-26 season. Local and university publications have covered the teams' weekly competitive schedules for both men's and women's basketball. The news cycle has also included coverage of game results against opponents and the earlier announcements of the non-conference and conference schedules for the current season.
