Varsity Cup 2024

Represent Team UoP, have fun and take on the University of Southampton.

If you are not already familiar with Varsity Cup, it's the sporting event of the year here at the University of Portsmouth. Varsity sees Team University of Portsmouth take on the University of Southampton's sports clubs in as many sports as possible.

The rivalry between the two teams makes for an extremely exciting, action packed weekend of sport. Spectators are welcome to get behind our clubs and cheer them on.

The location of Varsity alternates each year between Portsmouth and Southampton. As we were the visiting team for Varsity 2023, we will be hosting Varsity in Portsmouth for 2024.

Tickets for Varsity 2024 are now on sale, you don't want to miss it!

Varsity Cup 2024 tickets and T-shirts

Ticket sales for Varsity 2024 are one sale now from the University's Online Store.

Main Varsity Cup tickets: £12

Varsity Cup 2024 tickets include access to all Varsity fixtures, entry to Varsity Village, the Varsity after-party, and some branded merchandise.

Varsity T-Shirts: £8

Available closer to the event, this year's Varsity T-shirts are separate from the main ticket and are completely optional. A Varsity T-shirt does not include access to the event - if you are playing or spectating, you need the main Varsity ticket.

Varsity T-Shirts will be available from Ravelin Sports Centre.

Family supporters wristbands: £5 per day

A limited number of spectator-only, entry-only wristbands will be available during the week of Varsity. These wristbands are for entry only to spectate at Varsity fixtures on a specific day and do not include the T-shirt or branded merchandise. These wristbands are for friends and family who only want to spectate at a specific fixture and don't want the full Varsity experience. All Varsity competitors must purchase the main Varsity ticket.

Varsity Wristbands

Your Varsity wristband, included in the main ticket, will act as your entry to the event, so make sure you either wear it or bring it with you. Wristbands will be available for collection at Ravelin Sports Centre from Monday 15 April. Once you have purchased your ticket, make sure you keep an eye on your emails and @uopsport on Instagram to stay up to date.

Make sure you have your ticket confirmation with you when you come to collect your wristband and merch.
