Support UC Irvine Athletics this Giving Day!

Today marks an exciting opportunity on 2026 Giving Day for Anteaters to celebrate a proud tradition of excellence and invest in what’s next for UC Irvine Athletics. The 2024–25 season was a banner year across all sports, highlighted by Big West regular-season titles, conference championships, NCAA Tournament appearances, national rankings, and the achievement of 10 All-Americans—culminating in UC Irvine capturing the Dennis Farrell Big West Commissioner’s Cup, awarded to the league’s most successful all-around athletics program.

For more than 50 years, Anteater student-athletes have proudly represented the university, combining competitive excellence with academic achievement. With 28 National Championships, 138 Conference Championships, 609 All-Americans, 73 Olympians, and more than 4,000 Scholar-Athletes, your support on Giving Day helps ensure UC Irvine Athletics continues to build on this legacy and elevate its national prominence for years to come.

Together We Zot!
