A member of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the nation's oldest athletic conference. Albion offers 20 intercollegiate sports, 10 for men and 10 for women. Men's sports include cross country, football, golf, and soccer in the fall, basketball and swimming and diving in the winter, and baseball, tennis, and track and field in the spring.

At Albion, student-athletes and coaches understand the role of athletics in their education. When a choice has to be made between academic and athletic responsibilities, studies take top priority. However, the number of Academic All-Americans, NCAA Postgraduate Scholars, and individual and team champions Albion has produced demonstrates that academics and athletics can be combined very successfully.

Some Briton highlights include:

• The football team won the NCAA Division III National Championship in 1994 and reached the playoffs seven other years, including 2005. With 33 MIAA championships and more than 500 victories, Albion is also distinguished as the league's most successful team.
• The men's and women's basketball teams won MIAA titles in 2005 and advanced deep into the NCAA Championship tournament.
