Nebraska Esports Program – Student-Centered Competitive & Social Gaming Hub at University of Nebraska–Lincoln

As a university-managed program, it is open exclusively to current UNL students, with no general public or neighboring community access available, though select events like tournaments and community gaming days are promoted for broader student participation.
