The USA Esports Alliance is a first-of-its-kind coalition bringing together the leading organizations across the American esports ecosystem. For the first time, professional esports clubs, top-tier universities, and key industry stakeholders are coordinating under a single banner. The mission collaborate on building a stronger, safer, and more sustainable future for esports in the United States.

This initial group of Alliance members represents the best and brightest minds from across the professional and collegiate landscape. Each has joined on because they share a common belief: that American esports deserves a unified structure that supports athletes at every level and positions the United States as a global leader.

The professional esports ecosystem in North America is home to some of the most recognized and competitive organizations in the world, and for the first time, they're coming together under a shared national framework. The following clubs have formally joined the USA Esports Alliance as founding supporters, each bringing decades of combined experience across titles like League of Legends, Valorant, Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, and beyond. Their involvement signals the willingness to collaborate on what matters most—strengthening the national ecosystem, supporting player development, and making sure the United States is represented with excellence on the international stage.
