What is Leeds Varsity?

Leeds Varsity is the biggest university sporting event in the city, where more than 1,400 students from Leeds Beckett and the University of Leeds compete across over 60 sporting fixtures.

Since starting in 2004, it’s become a must-see event in the Leeds student calendar, bringing together more than 10,000 students from both universities to celebrate sport and cheer on their teams.

The last Varsity event took place in 2019, so there’s plenty on the line as the two universities meet for the first time in almost three years.
