Esports
Esports is organized video game competitions in which individuals or teams may compete against one another in a specified game. Michigan Esports is an organization that oversees the formation and operations of each video game’s competitive teams. These teams are comprised of current University of Michigan students and compete in collegiate level esports competitions across various leagues and game titles!
Multiplayer video game team competition isn’t new to U‑M students, but it has a new home at Recreational Sports. Students run our entire esports program—which focuses on competition, community, and well-being.
