The British Esports Student Champs

The British Esports Student Champs (aka "Champs™") is an exciting series of competitive video gaming competitions for students aged 12+ in schools and colleges across the UK.

The Champs is open to all secondary schools, Further Education (FE) colleges and Alternative Provision (AP) schools in the UK and is PC-based. Each institution can enter multiple teams for four different games: League of Legends (5v5), Overwatch 2 (5v5), Rocket League (3v3), and VALORANT (5v5, aged 16+ only).

If you’re a student who wants to take part in the Champs but doesn’t know where to start, head to our student zone.

The British Esports Federation

The British Esports Federation is a national body not-for-profit organisation designed to support and promote grassroots esports in Britain.

Our three aims are to Promote, Improve and Inspire.

Our goal is not to push esports as a sport or as a rival to traditional sport, but as a veritable activity in its own right which can have positive cognitive and other benefits when carried out in moderation. Esports promotes teamwork and communication, develops communities and provides jobs.

Unlike passive media such as TV, esports requires quick thinking, mechanical skill and involves the participants directly.
