Why School Esports
Built for how schools actually work
If you've ever tried to run school esports on a vanilla esports platform, you know the challenges. They simply can't do everything you need them to do and can feel like more work. School Esports is designed exclusively with schools in mind, to make onboarding and competition a breeze for even the newest teachers and students.
Safe by design
Say goodbye to Discord and unmonitored spaces. A safe environment for all that promotes accountability and sportsmanship.
Runs itself
87.3% of matches complete with no admin intervention, measured across 6,417 real matches.
Industry leader expertise
Built independently on years of national scale experience.
Tools for schools
Student coordinators, smart rematch recovery, player of the day rewards, and more.
Customisable branding and integrated sponsors
Make the platform as unique as your offering, with full branding control and integrated sponsor slots.

Safe by design
Teachers always in the loop
This is why more schools compete on School Esports.
- No Discord and no unmonitored spaces. All communication happens in secure on-platform chats visible to teachers, coaches, and referees.
- Teachers approve every team and student, guaranteeing student versus student.
- Students can lead registration while teachers stay central, so teachers are as active or passive as their workload allows.
- Integrity tools foster a culture of sportsmanship.
Each platform comes with a dedicated app with your branding that teachers and students use to stay on top of match chats, schedules and results.
Runs itself
Esports without the admin burden
Focus on what's important, and let the platform handle the busywork.
- Student-driven rescheduling: teams agree new times between themselves, inside monitored chat.
- Team score confirmation: both sides report and confirm, results post automatically.
- Referee panel: the rare disputes route to volunteers or staff as tickets, not emails.
Built for scale
From one school to a whole country
- Built by experienced organisers to serve entire countries.
- Sponsor and branding customisation throughout.
- Full ownership and control of all collected data.
- Simple onboarding for schools and students.

Testimonials
What teachers and organisers tell us
Thoughts from the people running leagues to the teachers and students who use it.
School Esports has completely changed how we can deliver esports. We couldn't afford to run more than three game titles, to now running several tournaments with 10+ games year round.
Jonathan JansenCEO, New Zealand EsportsAs a big school with over 3,000 students and 20+ esports teams, if a competition isn't on School Esports, it's not even worth the effort now to register.
Connor GreenTeacher, Rangitoto CollegeRunning a competition of any size has always been a mess of manual data tracking, finding an easy to use platform that has the correct formats, and a battle for true control over the admin functions for tournaments. With School Esports, everything is now all in one place while also being a safe space for students.
