FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Dec. 9, 2025

The 2025 Esports Fall State Championships presented by UK HealthCare are set to return to the University of Kentucky Federal Credit Union Esports Lounge at The Cornerstone on the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington on Wednesday.

Better than 100 student-athletes from more than 20 schools will meet in Lexington for the semifinal and final rounds of competition in Rocket League (PC), Madden NFL 26 (PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X/S), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo Switch), Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nintendo Switch), Splatoon 3 (Nintendo Switch), and the newest addition Street Fighter 6 (PC).

Since League of Legends was one of the inaugural titles in Kentucky Esports, and did not have enough participation to offer as a state championship title this season, we invited the two furthest-advancing Kentucky teams from the PlayVS Central Region League to participate in a final exhibition match at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.

Tickets are available online only at khsaatickets.org. All rounds of the event will be broadcast live on khsaa.tv to subscribers of the NFHS Network, as well as on the KHSAA and University of Kentucky Esports Twitch channels.
