The UNC Charlotte esports and gaming arena within the Popp Martin Student Union will be launching a soft open in spring 2025. Located on the mezzanine level, the brand new esports and gaming space on campus is outfitted with 31 competition ready PCs, an iRacing Rig, designated lounge space, and a console docking station to play at a moments notice. We aim to be the heart of gaming on campus, bringing together all varsity, academy and recreational esports players to a space we can call our own, while also serving as a launching point for academic development and professional collaborations within the gaming industry on and off campus. 

The esports and gaming arena will be open to any and all UNC Charlotte students and staff, we hope to see you there!
