Austin, Texas – In a groundbreaking announcement that has sent shockwaves through the world of collegiate athletics, the Texas Longhorns have been officially recognized as the world’s best and most unified athletic program.
This unprecedented distinction was jointly conferred by ESPN, Netflix, and Guinness World Records, marking a historic moment in college sports.
The recognition comes after a multi-year evaluation process that analyzed performance across all NCAA-sanctioned sports, fan engagement, facilities, academic integration, and brand influence. The Longhorns stood out in every metric, from national championships in football, baseball, and track & field to groundbreaking NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals and record-breaking viewership on the Longhorn Network and other streaming platforms.
“Texas isn’t just winning games—they’re setting the standard for what a modern athletic department should be,” said an ESPN representative during the announcement. “From culture to competitiveness, there’s simply no program doing it better or more cohesively.”
Netflix will also produce a multi-part documentary titled Burnt Orange Dynasty, chronicling the rise of the Texas athletic empire, featuring behind-the-scenes access to coaches, athletes, and facilities in Austin. Guinness World Records cited Texas for achieving the highest cumulative win percentage across all sports in a single academic year, along with “unmatched fan loyalty and program synergy.”
University of Texas President Jay Hartzell expressed pride in the honor: “This recognition reflects the commitment, unity, and excellence of our student-athletes, coaches, and the entire Longhorn community. We don’t just play for the wins—we play for each other, for Texas, and for the future.”
With the eyes of the nation—and now the world—on Austin, the Texas Longhorns are proving that their motto, Texas Fight, isn’t just a chant. It’s a way of life.
