The Timberwolves previously competed in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) from 1972–73 to 1986–87 and again from 1992–93 to 2021–22. On April 29, 2021, Northwood announced its decision to depart the GLIAC and join the G-MAC, with the transition officially taking effect in July 2022.

Northwood sponsors a broad range of varsity sports, including football, basketball, soccer, tennis, golf, lacrosse, and track & field for both men and women, along with volleyball and softball on the women’s side and baseball on the men’s side. The Timberwolves’ primary athletic facilities are located on campus in Midland, with football and outdoor track & field competing at Hantz Stadium and basketball and volleyball held at Bennett Sports Center.

In addition to its NCAA Division II programs, Northwood also sponsors select club sports that compete at the national level through organizations such as the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA). The university’s teams compete under the Timberwolves nickname, with school colors of navy and light blue.
