Miami Varsity Esports Program

The Nation’s First D1 Varsity Esports Program

Miami University’s Varsity Esports Program hosts six competitive titles (Overwatch 2, Rocket League, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, League of Legends, VALORANT, and Street Fighter 6) that play at the top flight of intercollegiate competition. Varsity players receive access to our practice spaces in King Library and the Armstrong Student Center.

As well as fielding competitive teams, Miami’s esports program also hosts the Forge Program, giving the opportunity to students to work on social media, graphic design, media production, broadcast (commentating, producing, and spectating) and community outreach. Internship credit opportunities are possible upon requests.
