The UNC Charlotte Esports & Gaming Arena within the Popp Martin Student Union opened in late 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.
