About 18% of Augsburg's 2,429 students participate in varsity athletics across 18 sports. The university awards $0 in athletic scholarships, typical for D3 schools that emphasize the student-athlete experience. Augsburg competes in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference against other regional private colleges.

Hockey stands out as a particularly strong program, reflecting Minnesota's deep hockey culture. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio extends to athletics, where smaller rosters mean more opportunities for walk-ons and meaningful playing time for dedicated athletes.
