The sports on the programme are 3×3 basketball, badminton, basketball, beach handball, beach volleyball, chess, football, futsal, handball, judo, karate, kickboxing, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, volleyball, and water polo. Para table tennis is also on the programme for student athletes with disabilities.

The priority registration deadline is 1 February 2024, with the possibility of prolonged registration to 1 March 2024, in case of open spots for the designated sports.
The vision behind the European Universities Games 2024 is being built by two universities and two cities coming together, with the EUG 2024 organising committee working tirelessly to make this the most memorable European Universities Games to date. With state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant atmosphere, Debrecen and Miskolc are ready to welcome athletes, coaches, and spectators from all over Europe. The Games will not only be a celebration of sports, but also a chance for cultural exchange and the building of lasting connections between universities.
Volunteers also play a very important role in the realisation of this event. They can gain valuable professional experience in organising sports events and becoming future leaders in the sports community, while exploring their passion for sport.
International ongoing promotion is targeting European university sports bodies, universities, and student athletes, while local activities raise awareness of the event, strengthen partnerships, and recruit volunteers and taskforce.
