About SJU Esports
What do esports have in common with our 500-year-old Jesuit tradition? Teamwork, problem-solving, focus, communication. Esports represents a large and growing segment of the future of sports and opportunities abound for students within recreation, competitive clubs and career pathways.
The University’s esports initiative is multi-faceted and features a tech-forward, multi-use lab; academic coursework and student experiences with a club sport option for students interested in entering the gaming network and industry.
What We Offer
As of the Fall 2024 season, SJU Esports competed in 5 competitive game titles: Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, VALORANT, Overwatch 2, Fortnite, and Teamfight Tactics. All SJU Esports teams currently compete in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) across various skill levels.
In the upcoming Spring 2025 season, the program is looking to expand game titles to Rocket League, League of Legends, and miscellaneous sports titles. Esports scholarships are available for incoming and returning students. Please indicate this interest when completing the interest form and Head Coach Logan will be in contact with you.

WHAT OUR CLUB MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY
"Esports is a space that is always filled with welcoming faces no matter what skill level you are. As person who joined the club as a freshmen to now being Vice President, this club is my second home."
"I've been able to find a place for myself in this club with people who share the same interests and passions as me."
"Esports has given me the community I needed when I was a first year to engage with others with the same passions as me. Now as a senior I strive to inspire that same community with my first year teammates."
"I would say Esports provides a great environment to make new friends, and the club has a pretty close knit community where its easy to get to know each other."
"This is my first semester with the club and after being active in both Fortnite and VALORANT I really feel at home here."
"If I had to sum up our Esports Club in one word it'd be home."
