The dates for the 2024 Varsity sporting events have been released, as this year ice hockey opens the competition.
Sheffield’s annual inter-university sports competition, Sheffield Varsity, has been scheduled to start on Wednesday 20 March at the Utilita Arena for the ice hockey showdown.
This year, the month-long sporting competition has seen its events reshuffled as ice hockey no longer closes the event.
It has since had its closing role taken by netball and basketball which will take place at the new Cannon Medical Arena on Wednesday 24 April.
The event sees the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam go head-to-head in over 45 sporting events picking up a point per event win.
The university with the most points wins, taking home to Varsity trophy.
Last year the University of Sheffield was victorious beating Sheffield Hallam.
The boxing event will take place on Monday 15 April at The Octagon.
The Hallam sports park event, which showcases cricket, football, lacrosse, rugby league and rugby union, will be held on Wednesday 17 April.
Tickets will be available to buy on 22 January 2024.
