PlayVS

We founded PlayVS in 2018 to provide an amateur esports platform and infrastructure for middle and high school esports in the United States. Our platform is a community where players compete, fans spectate, and coaches manage programs. We collaborate with game publishers and high school governing bodies to establish and operate sanctioned leagues nationally.

Our software creates a full-stack sports platform, integrating all aspects of esports. We offer popular game titles, real-time statistics, coaching tools, and on-demand support. We acquired Vanta Esports in 2026. We also oversee the PlayVS College League (PCL), formerly Playfly College Esports. We offer Gaming Concepts, which helps schools integrate scholastic gaming experiences, providing STEM and CTE curriculum, esports training, and tournament play.

We are headquartered in Los Angeles, CA.

Our mission is to create opportunities for personal growth and skill development through gaming. Our vision is to establish an inclusive global gaming ecosystem that enriches lives and unlocks opportunities for everyone.

We operate by these core values:
