Conference Titles for Teams in West Since Realignment
Since the Pac-12’s breakup in 2024 and its reformation as a new conference in 2026, its departed and current teams have won championships in various sports over five different leagues.
Below, we track the titles recorded by teams in the West from the Big Ten (Oregon, USC, UCLA, Washington), the Big 12 (Arizona, ASU, BYU, Colorado, and Utah), and the ACC (Cal, Stanford).
We also track championships won in that timeframe by the region’s Mountain West schools (Air Force, Hawai’i, Nevada, New Mexico, SJSU, UNLV, and Wyoming) and Pac-12 schools (Boise State, CSU, Fresno State, SDSU, UNLV, Utah State, OSU, WSU, Gonzaga).
For completeness, we have also included titles won by schools in the West over the last two years in the WCC (Gonzaga, Oregon State, WSU, Saint Mary’s, Santa Clara).
But we begin with a breakdown of championships in the last two years by program across all sports.

Andrey Rublev vs Hubert Hurkacz preview
On Tuesday, June 16, Andrey Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz will butt heads at the 2026 Terra Wortmann Open. The duo are scheduled to be the second match on the Schauinsland-Reisen Court, with their battle taking place after the completion of Karen Khachanov and Ethan Quinn’s 11:30 AM encounter.For Rublev, his upcoming appearance at Halle will make his debut on grass for the 2026 season. Prior to this, the Russian was last seen on court at the French Open. While in Paris, he defeated the likes of Ignacio Buse, Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Nuno Borges. He eventually went down against Jakub Mensik in his fourth round encounter.
Meanwhile, Hurkacz kicked off his grass season earlier this month at the Libema Open, where he was shown the door in his opening round encounter by Marton Fucsovics. Overall, the Pole has had a lukewarm 2026 season, with a win-loss record of 9-12. His best performance of the year was a runners-up finish at the Sardegna Open, a Challenger event, but he has failed to make deep runs in other tournaments.
Andrey Rublev vs Hubert Hurkacz head-to-head record
Rublev and Hurkacz have played each other a total of six times over the years, and the Pole holds the edge in their head-to-head record. Their first meeting took place all the way back at the 2020 Internazionali BNL d’Italia. Hurkacz won that encounter in three sets before going on to beat the Russian in straight sets at the Miami Open a year later.
In 2022, Rublev managed to draw even against Hurkacz in their head-to-head record, clinching two back-to-back wins over the Pole. However, Hurkacz has since gone on to win their two most recent encounters, including their battle in Rotterdam in 2025

Andrey Rublev vs Hubert Hurkacz prediction
Rublev and Hurkacz’s battle should make for some interesting viewing. On paper, the Pole is the favorite for the win, holding an edge over his opponent in their head-to-head record and excelling on grass courts. However, given Hurkacz’s recent dip in form, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Rublev claim his first win over the former World No.4 in more than three years.
Pick: Andrey Rublev to win in three sets.
Andrey Rublev vs Hubert Hurkacz betting tips
Tip 1: The match will have at least 21 games.
Tip 2: Both players to win at least one game with a score of 7-5 or better.

The £13 million Weldon Wellbeing Pavilion has opened in Kent
Charitable trust Freedom Leisure will operate it on behalf of Ebbsfleet Garden City Trust
The site features a state-of-the-art 3G pitch, a gym, courts, and a community hall
Freedom Leisure and Ebbsfleet Garden City Trust have opened the £13 million Weldon Wellbeing Pavilion – a new community wellbeing and sports facility.
Weldon Wellbeing Pavilion offers a gym and group exercise studio, netball and tennis courts and a 3G pitch, alongside a versatile community hall, that will enhance opportunities for grassroots sport, physical activity and wellbeing initiatives within the growing Ebbsfleet Garden City community.
Ebbsfleet Development Corporation (EDC) worked alongside Redrow, Ebbsfleet Garden City Trust and Freedom Leisure to support delivery of the facility. Sara Waller, CEO of Ebbsfleet Development Corporation said: “Facilities like this matter because they turn new neighbourhoods into places where people can genuinely live well. That is what long-term placemaking is about, and it is what we are committed to delivering across Ebbsfleet.”
Ivan Horsfall Turner, CEO of charitable trust, Freedom Leisure, which will operate the Pavilion says: “At Freedom Leisure, we are passionate about creating opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to be active, improve their wellbeing and connect with others. This fantastic new facility provides a welcoming space where residents, schools, clubs and community groups can come together and we look forward to supporting the health and wellbeing of the Ebbsfleet community for many years to come.”

- Ebbsfleet is one of a number of healthy new towns being built in the UK. Find out more in HCM’s sister magazine, CLADmag – here on desktop and here on mobile. NB, the UK government has reduced the original list of 12 new towns to seven, however, the principles remain the same. The locations are: Tempsford in Bedfordshire, Crews Hill and Chase Park in Enfield, Leeds South Bank in West Yorkshire, Victoria North in Greater Manchester, Thamesmead in Greenwich, Brabazon and the West Innovation Arc in South Gloucestershire and Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire
Sites originally proposed in Plymouth, Adlington in Cheshire, Heyford Park in Oxfordshire, Marlcombe in East Devon and Worcestershire Parkway, Wychavon will not be developed into new towns, but may continue to get support through existing housing programmes.
- Somerset Council has recently awarded an interim two-year contract to Freedom Leisure to operate leisure centres in the East of Somerset – the Mendip area – after the previous operator, Fusion Lifestyle, went into administration. The new contract will run from 1 July 2026 for the following facilities:
- Frome Leisure Centre
- Strode Swimming & Fitness (Street)
- Shepton Mallet Lido
- Tor Sports & Leisure Centre (Glastonbury)
- Wells Leisure Centre
3. Freedom Leisure has also been investing in solar energy as part of a decarbonisation and energy efficiency programme. It has recently invested in 600 solar PV panels for the LC Leisure Centre in Swansea which will power everything from the showers, to the lighting and heat the swimming pool. SolarSense did the installation and the costs were covered with support from Sport Wales and Swansea Council.

Moses Itauma is expected to be a major force in the heavyweight division, but whether he will get the chance to announce himself with a fight agains the likes of Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua remains to be seen.
In his last two fights, Itauma has bettered performances of Fury and ‘AJ’, halting Dillian Whyte in the opening round of their fight three years after he lasted six rounds with Fury, and dispatching of Jermaine Franklin within five rounds, three years after the American went the distance with Joshua.
Those triumphs have thrust Itauma up the rankings, where he is now positioned as the WBO mandatory challenger, poised for a shot at the victor of Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley’s anticipated rematch should his team decide on that route.
However, should the youngster wish to face the old guard and take on Fury, the latter told iFL TV that any offer needs to be a lucrative one.
“Nothing, but obviously money [would tempt me to fight Itauma]. For sure, I am a prizefighter, show me the money and I will do the job, but at the end of the day, if there is no big money involved, what is the point? He doesn’t have a belt, he doesn’t have nothing, what is it for?”
“I don’t need to fight f***ing kids, do you know what I mean? Listen, Moses is a good kid, he is a great boxer and everything, brilliant, but unless its going to big money, why would I want to fight Moses for f**k all?”
Fury then went on to praise the talent of his fellow Queensberry heavyweight, admitting that Itauma ‘is definitely the real deal’ after regularly sparring the Kent-based sensation.
“I have had Moses in four or five camps and he is a good kid. Good puncher, good speed, good boxing IQ, he listens, which is very important, he takes it all on board and he is a good learner, as well.
“He has got speed and athleticism, he is definitely the real deal, if he wasn’t then I would say, but don’t forget that I am the one who has gassed him up for the last four years!”
Fury will return to action this summer, with another recent sparring partner in Nelson Hysa said to be one of the leading options for the away corner.
As for Itauma, an announcment is expected soon for his own August bout, with Filip Hrgovic still the frontrunner.
Two of football’s biggest modern icons, Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah, will headline one of the most anticipated matches of the opening week of the FIFA World Cup 2026 when Belgium take on Egypt in their Group G opener at Seattle Stadium on Tuesday, June 16.
The clash could have a significant bearing on the final group standings. Belgium and Egypt are widely viewed as the strongest teams in Group G, which also includes Iran and New Zealand, making this encounter a potential battle for top spot and a favourable path into the knockout rounds.
Yet, with several underdogs already troubling established powers at the tournament, neither side can afford to take qualification for granted. A victory would not only provide a crucial three points but also ease the pressure ahead of tricky fixtures later in the group stage, where any slip-up could prove costly.
Egypt looking to end 92-year wait
Egypt arrive at the tournament carrying the weight of history. Despite being one of Africa’s most successful football nations with seven Africa Cup of Nations titles, the Egyptian side has never won a match at the FIFA World Cup.
Their previous appearances in 1934, 1990 and 2018 produced two draws and five defeats, leaving them still searching for a first victory on football’s biggest stage. The 2026 tournament presents another opportunity to break that unwanted record and potentially reach the knockout rounds for the first time.
Head coach Hossam Hassan believes his side has the quality to compete with Belgium and challenge for qualification, particularly with experienced stars such as Salah, Marmoush and Trezeguet leading the attack.
Egypt’s full squad for FIFA World Cup 2026: Mohamed El Shenawy, Yasser Ibrahim, Mohamed Hany, Hossam Abdelmaguid, Ramy Rabia, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Trezeguet, Emam Ashour, Hamza Abdelkarim, Mohamed Salah, Mostafa Ziko, Haissem Hassan, Ahmed Fatouh, Hamdy Fathy, Karim Hafez, El Mahdy Soliman, Mohanad Lasheen, Nabil Emad, Marwan Attia, Ibrahim Adel, Mahmoud Sabre, Omar Marmoush, Mostafa Shobeir, Tarek Alaa, Zizo, Mohamed Alaa.

Belgium looking for another strong start
Belgium enter the tournament as favourites to top Group G despite no longer possessing the depth that defined their golden generation.
The Red Devils endured a disappointing group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup and are eager to make amends in North America. Coach Rudi Garcia has repeatedly stressed the importance of starting with a victory against Egypt in what is widely viewed as the key match in the group.
Belgium remain packed with elite-level experience. Thibaut Courtois is among the world’s best goalkeepers, Romelu Lukaku continues to lead the line, while De Bruyne remains one of football’s finest creators. Emerging talents such as Jeremy Doku and Charles De Ketelaere add pace and unpredictability to the attack.
Belgium’s full squad for FIFA World Cup 2026: Thibaut Courtois, Zeno Debast, Arthur Theate, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Axel Witsel, Kevin De Bruyne, Youri Tielemans, Romelu Lukaku, Leandro Trossard, Jeremy Doku, Senne Lammens, Mike Penders, Dodi Lukebakio, Thomas Meunier, Koni De Winter, Charles De Ketelaere, Joaquin Seys, Diego Moreira, Hans Vanaken, Timothy Castagne, Alexis Saelemaekers, Nicolas Raskin, Amadou Onana, Nathan Ngoy, Matias Fernandez Pardo.
FIFA World Cup 2026: Belgium vs Egypt predicted starting 11
Belgium starting 11 (probable): Courtois; Meunier, Mechele, Ngoy, Castagne; Onana, Tielemans; Trossard, De Bruyne, Doku; De Ketelaere.
Egypt starting 11 (probable): Shobeir; Hany, Abdelmonem, Ibrahim, El Fotouh; Lasheen, Attia; Salah, Ashour, Trezeguet; Marmoush.

Salah vs De Bruyne: The biggest battle in the game
Few World Cup opening matches can boast a duel as compelling as Mohamed Salah versus Kevin De Bruyne. Both players are regarded among the finest footballers of their generation and remain the undisputed leaders of their respective national teams despite entering the latter stages of their careers.
Salah arrives at the tournament as Egypt’s captain, all-time leading scorer and biggest hope of finally guiding his side beyond the group stage. The former Liverpool star was instrumental in qualification and remains Egypt’s most dangerous attacking weapon thanks to his pace, finishing and ability to deliver in decisive moments.
De Bruyne, meanwhile, remains the creative force behind Belgium’s attack. The midfielder has been the heartbeat of Belgium’s golden generation for more than a decade and enters another World Cup determined to lead his country on a deep tournament run. His vision, passing range and ability to create chances from seemingly impossible situations make him one of the most influential midfielders in football history.
While Salah will be tasked with finishing Egypt’s opportunities, De Bruyne will be responsible for creating Belgium’s. Their individual brilliance has the potential to swing the contest in their team’s favour, making this battle between two modern greats one of the headline attractions of the opening round of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Other big names to look out for in Belgium vs Egypt clash
Apart from Salah and De Bruyne, several other stars could have a major influence on the contest.
Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)
Romelu Lukaku remains Belgium’s most reliable source of goals heading into the World Cup. The veteran striker is the nation’s all-time leading scorer and continues to deliver in major tournaments.
His strength, aerial ability and clinical finishing make him a constant threat inside the penalty area. Against Egypt, Belgium will look to Lukaku to convert chances and provide the decisive moments needed to secure victory.
Jeremy Doku (Belgium)
Jeremy Doku brings a different dimension to Belgium’s attack with his electrifying pace and fearless dribbling. The winger thrives in one-on-one situations and has the ability to break open tightly contested matches.
His direct running can force defenders into mistakes and create space for team-mates. If Belgium struggle to break down Egypt’s defence, Doku’s creativity and unpredictability could prove invaluable.
Thibaut Courtois (Belgium)
Thibaut Courtois remains one of the finest goalkeepers in world football and a key figure in Belgium’s squad. His shot-stopping ability, command of the penalty area and vast tournament experience provide confidence to the entire team. In World Cup football, goalkeepers often determine results in close matches.
Courtois’ ability to make crucial saves could be vital against Egypt’s dangerous attack.
Omar Marmoush (Egypt)
Omar Marmoush has developed into one of Egypt’s most important attacking players and offers the perfect complement to Mohamed Salah. His pace, intelligent movement and finishing ability make him a constant danger on the counterattack.
Marmoush ensures opponents cannot focus solely on Salah, creating a more balanced attack. His partnership with Egypt’s captain could be crucial in unlocking Belgium’s defence.
Trezeguet (Egypt)
Trezeguet brings valuable experience and leadership to Egypt’s World Cup squad. Having represented his country in multiple major tournaments, he understands the demands of performing on football’s biggest stage.
The versatile attacker contributes both offensively and defensively through his work rate and commitment. His experience can help guide younger team-mates, while his knack for scoring important goals remains a major asset.
Mohamed El Shenawy (Egypt)
Mohamed El Shenawy will play a crucial role in Egypt’s hopes of making a strong start to the tournament. The captain is a commanding presence in goal and provides leadership throughout the team.
His experience in high-pressure matches has made him one of Africa’s most respected goalkeepers. Against Belgium’s star-studded attack, El Shenawy’s saves could prove the difference between success and defeat.

Belgium vs Egypt Highlights, FIFA World Cup 2026 Updates: Romelu Lukaku made an instant impact after coming on as a second-half substitute as Belgium rescued a 1-1 draw against Egypt in their FIFA World Cup Group G clash in Seattle. Belgium trailed the African side at the break after Emam Ashour had put Egypt ahead in the 20th minute, following a clever pass from Mohamed Salah. However, Lukaku, seconds after coming on, forced an own goal from Mohamed Hany to put Belgium on level terms. Earlier, Kevin De Bruyne hit the post with a free-kick before Thibaut Courtois denied Mohamed Salah with a point-blank save.

Iran vs New Zealand LIVE Score | FIFA World Cup 2026 IRN vs NZL Match LIVE Updates: Indian-Origin Player Named In New Zealand’s Starting XI vs Iran
Iran vs New Zealand LIVE Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Updates: Iran and New Zealand are set to clash for the first time at a FIFA World Cup when they meet in the Group G opener at the Los Angeles Stadium on Tuesday. Both dazzled in qualification, with Iran losing only one game in a 16-match saunter to what will be a seventh outing at the global showpiece. New Zealand reached a World Cup on the back of a flawless campaign in Oceania, where they won all five matches, scoring 29 goals and conceding just the once. Iran are heading to a seventh FIFA World Cup (1978, 1998, 2006, 2014, 2018, 2022, 2026), looking to reach the knockout stage for the first time. On the other hand, New Zealand have qualified for a third FIFA World Cup (1982, 2010, 2026). After a difficult first foray at Spain in 1982, the All Whites’ next adventure was almost 28 days later in 2010 in South Africa. (Match Center Live)

Saudi Arabia held two-time champions Uruguay to a 1-1 draw in their World Cup opener on Monday, four years after defeating future champions Argentina in their debut match in Qatar. Abdulelah Al Amri’s opener for the Gulf nation was cancelled out by Maxi Araujo in a game where both sides profited from goalkeeping errors.
The draw means the two teams are level in Group H with Spain and tournament newcomers Cape Verde, who earlier made history by holding off the European champions in their first ever appearance on football’s biggest stage.
Read moreDebutants Cape Verde hold European champions Spain to shock draw
The first half was dominated by Uruguay but Saudi Arabia took the lead against the run of play in the 41st minute when Fernando Muslera made a costly error on a set-piece, parrying the ball into the path of Al Amri who poked the ball past the veteran keeper.
The majority of the second period was played in Saudi Arabia’s half as Uruguay frantically searched for an equaliser and their persistence paid off when goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais also made an error when a save fell nicely for Araujo to fire home.

Bryce Pickford continues to rack up the hardware.
The Montreal Canadiens prospect was named the CHL’s Defenceman of the Year on Monday, adding to his trophy case after already winning WHL MVP and the league’s top blue-liner award last month.
The 20-year-old Pickford was captain of the Medicine Hat Tigers this season and scored 45 goals and 83 points, with a plus-55 rating. His 45 goals placed second in the WHL and are the most by a defenceman in the league through the last 38 years.
Pickford and the Tigers advanced to the third round of the WHL playoffs but lost to the Prince Albert Raiders in six games. He was the second consecutive member of the Tigers to take home WHL MVP after Gavin McKenna won the award in 2025.
Montreal selected Pickford with the 81st overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
