Along with rival Arizona State (ASU), the Wildcats joined the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 1962. In 1978, both Arizona and ASU joined the Pac-12 Conference (then known as the Pac-10).
They were placed in the Pac-12 South Division when the conference realigned in 2011. Pac-12 divisions were eliminated in the 2022 season
Arizona joined the Big 12 in the 2024–2025 academic year on August 2, 2024, as part of a more extensive NCAA conference realignment.
The Wildcats have won at least a share of six conference championships, as well as a Pac-12 South division title in 2014. UA has made 21 bowl appearances, including an appearance in a New Year’s Six bowl.
Arizona has compiled a record of 646-511-33 (.557) through the 2025 season.
The program ranks 59th on the all-time FBS win list and 57th in all-time winning percentage.
