Esports for Everybody

Welcome to PlayVS. This is where amateur esports happens. However you play, whatever you play, we're the engine that powers your competition. We care deeply about two things: our platform and the community that makes it come alive. The platform is our focus. The community is our passion.

Represent your school on the platform that makes esports simple. In partnership with 23 state and province associations, and the NFHS, we proudly operate the ONLY varsity high school esports leagues in the United States and Canada. In alignment with other NFHS-sanctioned varsity sports, these leagues require a coach.
