Here's When The Mascots Compete At UCA College Nationals 2025

Posted January 18, 2025

The 2025 UCA College Nationals begins on Jan. 17 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex inside Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando as the best college cheer teams compete for titles.

And that includes those lovable college mascots.

While teams will compete in various divisions starting on Friday, Jan. 17, the mascot competitions start later in the weekend and will include some well known personalities, like Big AL of Alabama and Brutus The Buckeye of Ohio State. But there are also some mascots some fans may not know off the top of their heads, like Baby Blue of the University of Delaware.

In 2024, Auburn's Aubie the Tiger (IA) and Austin Peay State University's The Governor (Open) won the two divisions.

Here's what to know about the UCA College Nationals Mascot division.
