The Mavericks compete in The Summit League and play in the new on-campus Baxter Arena, built prior to the 2015–16 season. The Mavericks are now eligible for the NCAA tournament, NIT, or Summit League Tournament, having completed the school's four-year transition from Division II to Division I, which began in the 2011–12 season.

Notes

Although the school has completed the rebranding of its athletic program as "Omaha", and both The Summit League and National Collegiate Hockey Conference now follow this usage, national media such as ESPN usually use the hyphenated "Nebraska-Omaha".
