Conference Championships

Last updated: May 16, 2023

Colorado State currently sponsors 16 varsity sport programs (10 women's, 6 men's) at the NCAA Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision level, and the Rams have been members of the Mountain West Conference since its founding in 1999. Over that time span, the Rams have won at least one conference championship in each year of the league's existence but one. Colorado State has been a member of a variety of leagues over the 100-plus years of sponsoring varsity programs, and the below list includes championships won by each program across all conference affiliations.

Inactive sports sponsored in the past by Colorado State, or at times Colorado A&M or Colorado Agricultural College, are listed at the bottom and research is on-going to include a full summary of conference championships won by those programs.
