🔼 The Future Has Arrived. We love to see the Butler fam growing!

This week, the Butler football team announced the signing of 29 student-athletes on National Signing Day.

These student-athletes will make Indianapolis their home over the next four years.

🔼 They’re BACKKKKK. Game day has officially arrived for the Butler Softball program.

That’s right, for the first time since last May, the ‘Dawgs hit the Diamond to kick off the 2026 campaign.

Butler heads to Cedar Falls, Iowa for a five-game weekend, beginning with a 1:30pm showdown with Omaha, followed by a 6:30pm tilt with Kansas City.

🔼 Owning Our City. The Butler Women’s Tennis team grabbed city bragging rights on Wednesday, battling their way to a 5-2 victory over the University of Indianapolis. 

The Dawgs got out to a fast start by quickly sweeping the doubles point.

With the action moving to the singles court, Butler took home four of the six matches to claim the win.

Dawgs host the #3 UConn Huskies next Wednesday, February 11 at 7:30 p.m., with the doors opening at 6 p.m. for fans! Pregame will offer drink specials, a chance to see the NCAA Championship trophy and more!

This game is our Project 44 Night, honoring the late Andrew Smith, who proudly wore #44 for the Bulldogs from 2009-2013 and was the recipient of a bone marrow transplant during his battle with cancer. Project 44 is focused on the education, awareness and advocacy for the national bone marrow registry. To learn more, click HERE. 

Halftime will recognize the more than 300 Butler student-athletes who earned a spot on the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, with a semester GPA of at least a 3.25!

Fans can purchase two tickets to the game for just $44 AND receive a complimentary ticket to the women's Project 44 game on Wednesday, February 18 vs Creighton at 7 p.m.!
