About
Buffalo Public Schools launched Esports as a pilot program at School #207 in winter of 2024. Back for its second season in spring 2026, BPS Esports has expanded to include teams at four district high schools. These teams will have the ability to compete in statewide leagues as well as scrimmage with other Western New York Esports teams.

The Buffalo Public Schools Esports Program aims to provide a dynamic, inclusive, and educational environment where students can excel in competitive gaming.
Our mission is to foster teamwork, strategic thinking, and personal growth through esports, while promoting academic achievement and preparing students for future career opportunities in the rapidly expanding esports industry.
We are committed to creating a supportive community that celebrates diversity, encourages positive social interactions, and empowers students to reach their full potential both in and out of the game.
