BASKETBALL AT MONASH

Although Monash University does not have an affiliated basketball club, there are a number of opportunities to get involved in basketball at Monash!

Both Social Sport and Varsity competitions are available for students to participate in!

New Balance University Basketball League (UBL)

Monash is proud to be joining the New Balance University Basketball League (UBL) 2026, bringing a whole new game-day atmosphere to campus and uniting our students, staff and broader community.

From August to October, Monash will compete against 13 other universities from across Australia in this national basketball league. For our students, that means free home games at Clayton and Peninsula, big crowds, music, food, entertainment and a new reason to get involved in campus life.

All the information including fixtures, results and how to get involved can be found on this webpage:

Social Sport 

Social sport is a Monash Sport program which allows students of all skill and experience levels to play basketball in a supportive and fun environment.

As part of this program, participants can compete in regular 3x3 and mixed basketball competitions at Clayton and Caulfield campuses throughout the semester. 

All participants must register as part of a team prior to competitions to be eligible to compete.

If you are interested in participating in social sport but currently do not have a team, join this Facebook group where you can connect with other people interested in playing!

Varsity Basketball

Additionally, Monash University has a selective Varsity Basketball team which competes against other Australian Universities at competitions such as UniSport Nationals and Big Blue Exhibition matches.

Monash University is further represented at the UniSport National New Balance University Basketball League.

To be selected to represent Monash at competitions, athletes must be of a high calibre and undergo a competitive try-out process. Many of our varsity athletes compete at a national or international level.
