The UT Arlington Mavericks (abbreviated UT Arlington, UTA, and Mavs) are the athletic teams that represent the University of Texas at Arlington in Arlington, Texas. The Mavericks currently compete in the NCAA Division I Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 15 varsity sports. The number will rise to 16 in the 2026/27 academic year when women's flag football begins their first season of competition. The addition of flag football will also coincide with the WAC's rebranding as the United Athletic Conference, previously a football-only alliance between the WAC and Atlantic Sun Conference. UTA's WAC membership will accordingly transfer to the expanded UAC. When UAC expansion was first announced, UTA was the only member that does not sponsor (full-contact) football; the UAC would later add Little Rock as a second full non-football member effective in 2026–27.
Jon Fagg is the current athletic director. Prior to his stint at UTA, he was a Deputy Athletics Director, overseeing daily administration and NCAA compliance for the Arkansas Razorbacks at the University of Arkansas. Fagg replaced Jim Baker, who led the Athletic Department from 2012 to 2022.
