Playfly College Esports is excited to return this year in continued partnership with Chess.com, providing competitions for the strongest of teams as well as a space for brand new clubs and programs.

COLLEGIATE CHESS LEAGUE
The Collegiate Chess League is our staple competition where teams from across the world can compete. In Fall 2024, our largest season yet, we have provided competition for 220 schools and 438 teams. Each season is bigger than the last, so there's plenty of room for novices and experts alike to compete!

“Fall 2024 was our largest season yet, with both our international and regional India competitions exceeding our expectations. A combined 685 teams from 333 unique schools is just amazing! Interest has steadily grown since the start of our partnership in 2022, but each year, our community shows us how much further we can go.”
