Varsity 2022

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

If you are not already familiar with Varsity, it's the sporting event of the year here at the University of Portsmouth. Varsity sees Team UoP take on the University of Southampton's sports clubs in a whole range of different sports.

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 hosted Varsity 2022, Southampton are set to host Varsity 2023.

Varsity 2022

Varsity 2022 concluded with a loss for us in 2022 unfortunately, however all of our clubs played incredibly well, thoroughly enjoyed the event and are ready to come back fighting next year. The final result was: University of Portsmouth - 98 and University of Southampton - 158.

In 2022, Portsmouth vs Southampton Varsity was held across a full weekend (12-13 March), giving attendees and players the chance to watch as much sport as possible. Most outdoor sports took place at HMS Temeraire, the Royal Navy’s main sports facility. Indoor sports, including swimming, basketball and tennis, took place in various locations central to the University.
