Ready to break a sweat?
Learn about our Division I athletic teams and our club and intramural sports.
Varsity Sports
Our students work tremendously hard—and our 19 Division I athletic teams play even harder. Cheer on Northeastern’s men’s and women’s ice hockey as they go for the Beanpot or catch a basketball game at historic Matthews Arena. Our teams are among the most successful in New England and host some of the biggest collegiate events each year. #HowlinHuskies!
Club and Intramural Sports
We boast more than 25 intramural and 64 club teams for students looking to get their competitive juices flowing outside of the varsity athletic scene. Sports offered include lacrosse, rugby, ultimate frisbee, and badminton, along with many others.

Fitness Centers
We have three state-of-the-art fitness centers on campus to help students maintain a healthy lifestyle:
Marino
For rock climbing, basketball, and fitness classes, you’ll use the Marino Recreation Center. The center also boasts three floors of fitness equipment, free weights, weight machines, and a suspended running track.
Cabot
If you’re interested in racquetball, swimming laps or playing a little golf you’ll frequent the Cabot Center. This center also has indoor facilities for volleyball, tennis, and soccer, as well as a running track.
SquashBusters
And if you want to play a little squash, you’ll go to the Badger and Rosen SquashBusters Facility, which houses eight squash courts and 52 workout stations. It also features a spectacular view of the Boston skyline.
Northeastern Athletics
The Priority Points program is a great way to win Northeastern gear and other prizes—just for supporting the Huskies!

You don’t have to take the field to be a Husky. Our fans are an integral part of our athletic program’s success. We want to see you out there, cheering our men and women on as they compete for the pride of our university.
