The Washington State Cougars (known informally as the Cougs) are the athletic teams that represent Washington State University. Located in Pullman, Washington, WSU is a member of the Pac-12 Conference in NCAA Division I. The athletic program comprises ten women's sports and seven men's intercollegiate sports, and also offers various intramural sports.

Washington State will join the West Coast Conference as an associate member for the conferences sponsored varsity sports, except for baseball, beginning in the 2024–25 season— baseball, along with women's swimming, will become associate members of the Mountain West Conference instead. For football, Washington State will remain a member of the Pac-12 conference, though it has a scheduling alliance with the Mountain West.
