The road to GEG: LA26
Every open gym, send-off, match, and homecoming between here and history.
Global Esports Games 2026
As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, the birthplace of esports hosts the Global Esports Games in Los Angeles — with a new emphasis this year: generational connectivity. Our team is part of the reason why.
Rocket League Invitational
Senior Esports USA vs. Senior Team Belgium. Senior athletes from the LevelUpLand® program represent the United States in an exhibition match on the sport's biggest international stage.
Win or lose, the story already won: the room will be full of people who were told their competing days were over — competing.
