The Mountain West Conference is adding men’s swimming and diving and men’s soccer to become the 20th and 21st sponsored sports in the conference. Both sports will be added in the 2026-2027 season.
“The addition of men’s soccer and men’s swimming and diving to the Mountain West represents a bold step forward in our commitment to broad-based excellence,” said Mountain West Commissioner Gloria Nevarez. “These sports not only elevate our competitive profile but also reflect the growing interest and investment from our member institutions. We’re proud to support student-athletes in these disciplines and excited to see the impact they’ll have on our Conference’s future.”
Men’s swimming and diving returns to the conference for the first time since 2011. The conference has announced that five men’s programs are set to compete including Air Force, Grand Canyon, Hawaii, UNLV, and Wyoming. Hawaii is set to become a full member of the Mountain West on July 1, 2026. Grand Canyon joined the conference a year early, joining for the current 2025-2026 school year.
This past season the Air Force, Grand Canyon, UNLV, and Wyoming men’s swimming and diving programs competed at the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Championships alongside Cal Baptist and Seattle. UNLV captured the WAC title with 802 points while Air Force was 3rd with 638.5 points.
The Hawaii men will join the Mountain West after most recently competing in the Big West Conference Championships where they were 2nd this past season, only 52 points behind first place team UC-Santa Barbara.
The San Diego State women captured the 2025 Mountain West Championship title with 1283 points, 105 points ahead of 2nd place UNLV.
