The XP League has announced that its 2024 North American Finals will return to Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida, marking the third consecutive year the institution has served as the event’s title sponsor. Scheduled for June 28–30, the tournament will be hosted at the university’s Orlando Health Fortress facility. This partnership highlights a continued commitment to fostering youth-focused competitive gaming while providing practical industry experience for university students and graduates, who will assist with event production, tournament organization, and coaching.
The competition is set to feature over 250 youth players from across North America competing in several prominent titles, including Apex Legends, Fortnite, Overwatch 2, Rocket League, and Valorant. To further support the academic and professional development of the host institution's student body, the XP League will award $30,000 in scholarships to select Full Sail students who contribute to the successful execution of the event.
The three-day tournament will be broadcast live via YouTube and Twitch, with in-person attendance options available to the public. The XP League operates under the umbrella of Unleashed Brands, a company with a diverse portfolio of youth-oriented businesses. By maintaining this recurring partnership, the organizers aim to provide a professional-level production environment for grassroots competitors while bridging the gap between youth esports and collegiate-level facilities.
