Welcome to the homepage for the UFG, the first ever UK university fighting game league! Working with NSE and featuring multiple games, we aim to produce a competitive online environment for university students in the UK, to allow for the development of the scene and its players as a combined body. We also encourage content production, discussion, and a nationwide community of like-minded competitors.

In 2018, we launched our Discord community (now over 900 members!), and began running online events for Street Fighter V, Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Tekken 7, Mortal Kombat, Smash Ultimate, BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, Under Night In-Birth and more. At the beginning of 2019, we hosted our first multi-game Winter Season split, complete with prizes. We’ve since gone on to host many more Seasons of competition, fostering storylines and connections within the University Fighting Game Community. 

2023 Spring Split

We have a full returning roster of titles to begin our year! This split sees the return of Melty Blood: Type Lumina into the UFG fray, reclaiming its Monday slot. Guilty Gear Strive and Tekken 7 both return to crown more Champions in the University scene, both with heated competition at all levels. Finally, Street Fighter V takes one final bow in the limelight, having been with us since UFG began back in the yesteryear of 2018, before the hotly anticipated Street Fighter 6 arrives this Summer!

Tournaments begin the week commencing 13th February, and run for seven total weeks.

Our competition is open to all students with an NSE account! You should join our Discord community for updates and to keep up to date with our other tournaments: http://unifight.games/
