The sports teams representing Utah Tech University, known before mid-2022 as Dixie State University. Members of the Western Athletic Conference, the Trailblazers completed a four-year transition from NCAA Division II to Division I in 2024. Utah Tech lacks the high profile of some other schools in the state, most notably Utah in Salt Lake City and BYU in Provo, in no small part because its football team plays in the second-level Division I FCS in the football-only United Athletic Conference. On the plus side, this means ticket prices are considerably lower than those for more prominent teams. The most prominent venues, both on campus, are Greater Zion Stadium for football and soccer and Burns Arena for basketball.
The Utah Tech Trailblazers, formerly known as the Dixie State Trailblazers, the Dixie State Red Storm and the Dixie State Rebels, are the 15 varsity athletic teams that represent Utah Tech University, located in St. George, Utah, in NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports. The Trailblazers currently compete as members of the Big Sky Conference; in football, the school competes in the second level of D-I football, the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), formerly in the United Athletic Conference (UAC). The UAC was formed after the 2022 football season as a merger of the football leagues of the WAC and the Atlantic Sun Conference. In two sports not sponsored by the Big Sky, baseball and men's soccer, Utah Tech will become an affiliate of the Mountain West Conference starting in 2026–27.
