Location: Boston, Massachusetts

Conference (football): Colonial Athletic Association

Conference (men's basketball): Colonial Athletic Association

Conference (women's basketball): Colonial Athletic Association
Arena: Cabot Center

The Northeastern University Huskies compete as members of the Colonial Athletic Association in NCAA Division I FCS football and in NCAA Division I basketball. Northeastern is a private non-sectarian institution located in the Fenway and Back Bay neighborhoods of Boston, Massachusetts. The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 15,000.

The campus is situated between the Fenway to the west, Massachusetts Avenue to the north, MA 28 (Tremont Street) to the east, and Ruggles Street to the south. Boston University lies less than a mile to the northwest. The most convenient freeway access is via I-93 exit 18 (Massachusetts Avenue). Matthews Arena (6,000), located near the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Saint Botolph Street, was formerly known as Boston Arena, and was in its early existence the home of the Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, and New England Whalers, and was the home ice for not only Northeastern's hockey program, but for those of Boston College, Boston University, Harvard, MIT, Tufts, and Wentworth Tech as well. It hosted all or part of seven America East Men's Basketball Tournaments, as well as the 1960 NCAA University Division Hockey Championship, and was the original home of the storied Beanpot Tournament. The women's basketball home, Cabot Center (2,500), is in the center of campus at the corner of MA 9 (Huntington Avenue) and Forsyth Street; the 1981 America East Men's Basketball Tournament Final was held there. Parsons Field (7,000), former home of the now discontinued football program, is an off-campus facility about a mile west of campus in Brookline at the corner of Kent Street and Aspinwall Avenue.

Northeastern's chief rival is indisputably Boston University; other heated rivalries exist with Boston College and Harvard (mostly in hockey).

Pro Bowl DE Sean Jones and TE Dan Ross head a list of 13 former Huskies to have played in the NFL. Five Huskies have played in the NBA or ABA; by a wide margin the most famous of these was All-Star Celtic Reggie Lewis, whose career was tragically cut short when he collapsed and died while practicing due to a heart condition. His number 35 jersey is retired by the Celtics.
