Michigan Esports – University of Michigan’s Premier Gaming & Community Hub

Michigan Esports Club at the University of Michigan, housed under Michigan Recreation, is a vibrant hub for competitive gaming and student community connection. Tailored for competitive players, casual gamers, and campus-wide events alike, it offers pro-grade teams, inclusive programming, and a dynamic environment designed to support both play and performance.

As a university recreation program, it is open exclusively to current UM students, faculty, and staff, with no general public or neighboring community access available.
