Francis Marion University athletic teams compete under NCAA affiliation.  The university sponsors 12 intercollegiate sports: six each for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, and tennis) and women (basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball).  The athletic department telephone number is 843-661-1240 and the fax number is 843-661-4645.

Two athletic programs (men's golf, women's soccer) compete as Division I independents, while the other 10 sports compete in the NCAA Division II Peach Belt Conference.  The PBC includes 13 members in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina.  Plans have been discussed to move the entire athletic program to Division I membership in the near future.

General admission tickets to FMU men's and women's basketball games and baseball games are $5 for adults and $2 for students.  No admission is charged to the other FMU home sporting events.
