List of NCAA fencing schools

This is a list of colleges and universities with NCAA-sanctioned fencing teams. Starting in 2025–26, the NCAA has reinstated separate men's and women's fencing championship, after having held a single coeducational championship meet since the 1989–90 school year. Schools of every division compete together regularly. Most major conferences do not sponsor fencing, with the notable exceptions of the Ivy League, the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. The Atlantic Coast Conference reinstated the sport beginning in 2014–15 after having previously sponsored it from 1971 through 1980, while the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation added the sport beginning in the 2021–22 season. Most other schools compete as independents.
