College Sports at the JKU.

If you study at the JKU, then you’re part of the JKU Astros!

The JKU will be taking on Vienna! Our football team, basketball team, and cheerleading squad are giving Vienna's universities a run for their money!

JKU Astros gamedays are undoubtedly a high point of university life; the atmosphere is both unparalleled and energetic, something that each JKU student ought to experience at least once for themselves!

The JKU Astros celebrated their grand entry to the league in 2022 with a big bang, joining the Austrian College Sports League with a men's basketball team, a women's basketball team, and a cheerleading squad: the only university outside of Vienna taking part! The league had no idea what hit them! During the Astros' first season, the teams gave the league a proper shake-up and the JKU Astros women's team became the 2023 ACSL Champions!
