A highlight of the Scottish student sporting calendar, the Varsity American football game has been played annually since 2012 and returns to Meggetland Stadium.

The traditional Edinburgh Napier Knights American Football v University of Edinburgh Mavericks rivalry returns, as both teams fight it out for the most spectacular trophy in UK American Football.

This year’s game will be held on a mid-week evening under the floodlights at Meggetland, Wednesday 20 March, with a 7pm kick off.

Entertainment includes a DJ, Edinburgh Rampant medieval Armour Combat Team and the Edinburgh University Brass Band. The Canalside Bar at Boroughmuir rugby club will be open throughout with hot food available. Other sponsors include QB54 and EP Sports.

Last years game produced fireworks during, on and off the field, with the Edinburgh Mavericks edging the game in a 14-6 victory.

Meggetland sports complex features a seated stand for watching the action.

Join us under the lights for the city’s biggest American Football fixture of the season!

Gates open from 6pm, with a 7pm kickoff.

Tickets are Ā£5 adult, Ā£3 students and Free Entry for U16’s and can be purchased in advance or on the gate.
