From Sunday 8 March to Friday 20 March, the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton will go head-to-head in our annual Varsity sports competition.
This year there are 14 different fixtures across 12 different sports, with many fixtures hosted on campus at the Sport Centre and Falmer Sport Complex.
If you’ve never experienced Varsity before, check out this video on the Sussex Sport Instagram explaining how it all works. Expect plenty of noise, colour, and a sense of friendly rivalry!

If you want to soak up the best of the atmosphere, don’t miss the matches on Wednesday 18 March at Falmer Sports Complex, which promises to be the most action-packed afternoon of the fortnight.
