What is Varsity?
Varsity is a full-day sporting battle where Team Brunel takes on St Mary’s across a wide range of sports. Every match matters. Each win earns a point for the university, and by the end of the day, the team with the most points is crowned Varsity Champion.
Last year, St Mary’s retained the cup. This year, it’s our turn. It’s about resilience, skill, and showing up for Team Brunel from the first whistle to the final result.
What to expect on the day
Varsity is more than just sport. It’s one of the biggest crowds of the year, with a festival-like atmosphere across campus from morning through to the final fixtures.
You can expect:
- Back-to-back competitive fixtures across multiple sports
- Huge crowds supporting Team Brunel
- Fan zones around campus
- Food outlets and drinks available throughout the day
- A proper matchday atmosphere whether you’re watching one game or staying all day
- Whether you’re a regular at fixtures or have never watched a university sports match before, Varsity is the perfect place to start.
