Georgetown Athletics is announcing the addition of Esports as the 22nd varsity sport at Georgetown College, with a scheduled launch in Fall 2025.

Esports is one of the fastest growing sports on college campuses, with more than 250 programs nationwide. Competitions between schools occur fully online, and soon the Georgetown College Tigers will be launching a co-ed team to compete with other institutions from across the country.

“The addition of an Esports program within the Tiger athletic department provides us with a great opportunity to extend the mission of Georgetown College to a wider audience,” said Chris Oliver, Vice President for Athletics. “We have conducted a significant amount of research during this process and are confident that Esports will be a great addition to our athletic offerings.  We look forward to identifying our first Head Coach and working alongside that person to help guide our strategies for recruiting and developing our student-athletes.”

The team will compete in an upgraded gaming arena inside the Lee E. Cralle Student Center. League affiliation and specific game titles will be determined with the hiring of a head coach. Qualified head coaching candidates are encouraged to apply by clicking here.
