Spring Sports

So Many Sports, So Little Time

After a phenomenal football season for the Knights, fans are getting really excited about UCF Athletics. While Football may be the most well-known college sport played, there are really so many other teams that can get overlooked. Football season is in the fall, so the Spring semester is their time to shine!

However, you don’t want to miss the spring football game that is slated for 2:30 pm on April 4th, 2020. Tickets for the 2020 UCF spring football game will be available at UCFKnights.com. Season-ticket holders will have tickets loaded in their UCF Account Manager and will have a week to claim them once they appear. Non-premium seats are free and will be able to be claimed via UCFKnights.com at a later date. Premium seats can be purchased for $5 in the Carl Black and Gold Cabana or $10 in the Stadium Club.

Some of the popular spring sports include baseball, basketball, hockey, rowing, track and field, golf, tennis, soccer, lacrosse, and volleyball. Don’t forget there are also women’s teams! For the whole list of teams and calendar for them, this site has all of the info. And, we list many of the games in our calendar. HaveUHeard that the UCF Men’s Basketball Team is ranked #3 in the American Athletic Conference (AAC)?

The Men’s basketball team has come a long way and students get hyped for their games. All of the games are live-streamed.

HaveUHeard that UCF also has a hockey team that many people do not know about, especially being a Florida school. They earned 5th in the SCHC Playoff and defeated our rival, the Bulls, this season as well. They, unfortunately, they don’t have their games on campus. Games are played at the RDV SportsDex Ice Den (8701 Maitland Summit Blvd, Orlando, FL 32810) in Maitland, Florida around 30 minutes away from campus. If you ever get the chance to go, don’t miss the opportunity.
