The Aztecs compete in NCAA Division I (FBS for football). Its primary conference is the Mountain West Conference.

The women’s water polo team participates in the Golden Coast Conference after leaving the Big West Conference in July 2013.

The men’s soccer team participates as an associate member of the Pac-12 Conference.
