Welcome to the world of esports

Step into the world of competitive gaming built just for K12-powered students. Our league offers structured, school-based seasons where teams of all levels—from rookies to veterans—sharpen real-world skills like teamwork, communication, and strategic problem-solving. 

Why join?

Over six weeks of play (plus playoffs!), students represent their school, forge friendships, and compete against other K12-powered schools. Whether you’re aiming for a spot in the Varsity League or just want to cultivate your in-game skills in the Open League, there’s a place for everyone to compete, learn, and grow.

Eligibility Note

Open to students enrolled at participating K12-powered schools. Must be 13 years or older, maintain passing grades, follow all rules and guidelines, and stay in good standing with your school’s coach and the K12 Esports League admins.

Participating Schools

Not every school participates in every game. Each school chooses which titles to field based on player interest and coach availability.
Note: New K12-powered schools can be added at any time once a coach or staff member is in place to oversee that school’s esports program.
