Before the university changed its name from Northeast Missouri State University in 1996, athletics teams were known as the Northeast Missouri State Bulldogs.
Truman State sponsors 16 varsity sports, including seven men's sports and nine women's sports. In 2018, the university cut men's tennis and wrestling due to budget cuts enacted by the Missouri state government.[3]
The Bulldogs have won seven team NCAA national championships, all at the Division II level.
