BUCS Big Wednesday 2023

The pinnacle of the university team sports programme, British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) Big Wednesday returns to the University of Nottingham campus on Wednesday 22 March. It will be a record fourth year of hosting the biggest event in university team sport for Nottingham, and will take place across several hub venues in the city including the £40 million David Ross Sports Village on University Park campus.

With thousands of university sport teams taking part in the BUCS leagues every year, only the very best make it through to the BUCS Big Wednesday finals. The Championship finals see the top student Premier League teams in the United Kingdom battle it out to be overall National champion. In the Trophy competition, squads from the second tier of the BUCS leagues compete for the coveted Trophy Cup. 16 sports and over 50 fixtures will be played across BUCS Big Wednesday, meaning there is plenty of opportunity for University of Nottingham students to enjoy a fantastic sporting event and hopefully cheer on plenty of #GreenandGold to victory!

University of Nottingham Sport is delighted and proud that 18 teams have qualified for finals at BUCS Big Wednesday. The #RoadToNottingham has seen dedication, skill and determination, and will culminate on the 21 and 22 March with all #GreenandGold finals outlined below. We wish all of our teams the very best of luck as they aim to become National Champions in front of a huge home crowd.

You can now purchase your ticket to support University of Nottingham teams across a number of sports here. 

Last year the University of Nottingham topped the medal chart at BUCS Big Wednesday with 14 titles from the 22 finals that the #GreenandGold were involved in, including 8 in the Championship and 6 in the Trophy.

We wish all of our finalists the very best of luck in their finals. If you don't manage to get a ticket, you'll be able to watch certain fixtures online through BUCS TV.
