With its best start since 2023, UCLA football (2-0) opens Big Ten competition against Purdue (1-1) Saturday night at the Rose Bowl. The Bruins are coming off a 28-10 victory over San Diego State, after an initial 0-0 deadlock at halftime.

Murphy’s Law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
That proved true in the Bruins’ last matchup.
After opening the season with a five-game undefeated streak, UCLA men’s soccer (3-1-2, 0-1 Big Ten) fell to 3-1 to Big Ten foe Rutgers on Sept.

The Bruins are ready to put their cards on the table.
UCLA women’s volleyball (6-2) will travel to Las Vegas for the Lucky Aces Volleyball Invitational, taking its chances against Iowa State (5-3) on Friday, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (2-5) on Saturday and Hawaiʻi (6-2) on Sunday.

Veteran experience has proven time and time again to be oh-so-valuable.
But sometimes, a fresh face can do the trick.
For UCLA gymnastics, this season will be all about finding the perfect balance.

After starting the 2026 campaign undefeated through 20 games, UCLA men’s volleyball seemed poised to breeze through the postseason and capture its third national championship in four years.

The intersection between sports and politics is often overlooked, despite how common the crossover is.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a July 17 ruling eliminating the previous “Duration of Status” policy, which allowed international students with F, J and I classifications on their nonimmigrant visas to remain in the United States so long as they were in the process of completing an academic program, regardless of the length.

We could be witnessing a dynasty in the making.
Only six UCLA programs have ever won three straight national championships. The feat has not been accomplished in nearly two decades: the most recent squad to join the list was women’s water polo following a dominant stretch from 2005 to 2009.
