BUEC SPRING 2026: SIGN-UPS OPEN NOW!

Sign-ups are officially open for the British Universtiy Esports Championship Spring 2026! It definitely doesn't feel like Spring in these baltic temperatures but things are about to heat up, hosting ten of our most popular esports titles. In our Winter season, we saw 113 universities join in the fight to be crowned Esports University of the Year, and the University of Southampton finally take down our reigning champions the University of Warwick - but all is still to play for...

We're also pleased to announce that finalists for our six biggest esports tournaments will be going head-to-head at LAN finals! We'll have more information about this soon and will update everyone with our plans as soon as we can.

Weekly Schedule:

• Mondays - VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics & Splatoon 3
• Tuesdays - League of Legends, Rocket League & Marvel Rivals
• Wednesdays - None
• Thursdays - Overwatch 2, Rainbow Six Siege X & Apex Legends
• Fridays - None
• Saturdays - Community Activity
