Division II features unmatched opportunity for student-athletes to advance to national championship competition as a result of the division’s generous championship access ratio, which is the best among the three NCAA divisions. Sports including basketball, volleyball, and track and field offer one championships opportunity for every 8.5 student-athletes. The ratio is even higher in other sports, including lacrosse and field hockey.
Division II is the only NCAA division that conducts National Championships Festivals, Olympic-style events in which a number of national championships are held at a single site over a period of several days.
In total, Division II hosts 25 national championships — 12 in men’s sports and 13 in women’s sports — that annually give the more than 14,000 student-athletes who participate in them the experience of a lifetime.
At these championship events, Division II athletes are celebrated on television and digital networks. Nearly all Division II championship finals are either broadcast nationally or streamed live on ncaa.com.
Division II conducts community engagement activities at each of the 25 championship final sites. These activities not only involve outreach from participating student-athletes to community locations but also bring community members to the championship events.
