The Fresno State Bulldogs are the intercollegiate athletic teams that represent California State University, Fresno (commonly referred to as Fresno State). The university is a member of NCAA Division I's Mountain West Conference (MW). It was a member of the Western Athletic Conference from 1992 until 2012, when it left for the Mountain West alongside fellow WAC member Nevada.
Fresno State had also been a member of the Big West Conference since the 1969–70 (the conference was known as the Pacific Coast Athletic Association at that time until 1988), and a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association from its beginning in the 1939–40 season (when Fresno State was in NCAA Division II).
The university has won two NCAA Division I Championships, in softball (1998) and baseball (2008).
Fresno State currently sponsors six men's and eleven women's sports at the varsity level.
In October 2020, Fresno State announced the elimination of three programs due to COVID-19: women's lacrosse, men's tennis, and wrestling.
