ARLINGTON, Texas – Tarleton State has claimed the 2025-26 Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Commissioner’s Cup following a strong finish to the spring competition season.
 
The WAC awards its Commissioner's Cup to the school that performs the best in a countable 14 of the conference's 17 men's and women's sponsored sports from an academic year. Points are awarded by aggregate scoring based on regular season and/or championship finishes depending on the sport and the number of institutions that sponsor the sport. An institution that does not sponsor a specific sport does not receive any points.
 
Only the regular season was counted for softball and baseball during the spring of 2026.

Affiliates are used as a placeholder in the standings or championship results but are not scored in the overall Commissioner’s Cup standings.
