PENN ATHLETICS

Penn is rooted in a rich and storied tradition in collegiate athletics. Dating back to the 1800s, the Quaker brand is one of the oldest and most distinguished in the country, with a legacy that includes household figures such as John Heisman — namesake of the coveted Heisman Trophy — and iconic venues like Franklin Field and the legendary Palestra, the "Cathedral of College Basketball.”

Today, that legacy continues across 33 Division I teams with more than 1,000 student-athletes competing in the Ivy League and carrying forward the excellence that defines Penn Athletics. Penn blends tradition with modern competition, championing the scholar-athlete ideal within the urban landscape of Philadelphia, the fourth-largest media market in the United States, and at one of the world’s top academic institutions.

By the Numbers: 
  • 33 Division 1 Teams
  • 1,000+ student-athletes
  • 29,000+ Full Time Undergraduate & Graduate Students
  • 55,500+ Faculty & Staff
  • 67,000+ Alumni in Philadelphia DMA
  • 290,000+ Alumni Worldwide
  • 2nd Wealthiest Alumni Population
