CITY Collegiate Conference Launches for 2027

New York City's college sports landscape is preparing for a significant change as the newly established CITY Collegiate Conference brings public and private institutions together under one NCAA Division III organization. Scheduled to begin competition in 2027–28, the conference will unite eight CUNY colleges with Brooklyn's Pratt Institute and Saint Elizabeth University in New Jersey. The move creates a broader regional platform for college athletics, connecting student-athletes across four NYC boroughs and neighboring New Jersey. With championships planned in 18 sports, the conference aims to strengthen local rivalries, expand competitive opportunities and reduce travel demands for student-athletes balancing academics and athletics. Building on CUNYAC's history, CITY represents a new chapter for metropolitan college sports while maintaining strong ties to New York City's public university system.
