What is uwbadgers.com?

Updated

uwbadgers.com is the official athletics website of the University of Wisconsin Badgers, the intercollegiate sports program of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. If you are looking for the authoritative source for Badgers news, schedules, rosters, and tickets, this is it — not a fan blog or third-party aggregator.

What the site covers

The homepage identifies the site as "Wisconsin Badgers | Official Athletics Website" and organizes content around several main areas:

  • Main Stories — current news and results across sports
  • Quick Links — shortcuts to the mobile app, ticket purchasing, Name/Image/Likeness information, the team shop ("Bucky's Locker Room"), donor support, and schedules
  • Featured Stories — longer-form features, such as the Hall of Fame profile of Chris Borland and a piece on Chris Solinsky leading Wisconsin cross country
  • Upcoming Events — a filterable event list by sport
  • Top Moments — highlighted achievements

Sports and teams listed

The site's event filter shows the full range of varsity programs, including:

Men's Women's
Football, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, Cross Country, Golf, Rowing, Swimming & Diving, Tennis, Track & Field, Wrestling Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, Cross Country, Golf, Rowing, Swimming & Diving, Tennis, Track & Field, Softball, Volleyball

Lightweight Rowing also appears as a separate category in the sport selector.

What you can do there

  • Read news and results — recent items include a 54–10 football win over Eastern Michigan, a men's soccer draw against Indiana, and Big Ten weekly awards for volleyball players.
  • Check schedules — the Upcoming Events section lists specific matchups with dates and times, such as softball vs. Milwaukee Area Technical College on September 23 at 5 PM.
  • Buy tickets — "Buy Tickets Here!" is a prominent quick link, and the site notes non-conference single-game tickets for men's hockey were on sale.
  • Follow teams — each event entry includes links to stats and watch options where available.

Why the distinction matters

Because the site is the official athletics department property, the information published there — schedules, results, roster moves, ticket availability — is the primary source. Fan sites, message boards, and news aggregators may republish or interpret this content, but they are not the origin. If you need to confirm a game time, a ticket policy, or an official statement, uwbadgers.com is the place to verify it.

One practical note: the site includes advertising and some links open in new windows, so expect a mix of editorial content and promotional placements as you browse.
