The Sun Conference - Esports

The Sun Conference is a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) conference founded in 1990 and based in Tampa, Florida. It sponsors esports as one of its championship sports, adding the programme in 2023-24. In 2026 the conference operated three esports titles—Overwatch 2, Rocket League and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate—each with a regular season and postseason tournament. Teams earned points toward the All-Titles Trophy for top-four tournament finishes and had to compete in at least two titles to qualify for the overall trophy. Keiser University won the 2026 All-Titles Trophy with seven points; individual title winners were Warner in Rocket League, SCAD Atlanta in Overwatch 2 and Loyola New Orleans in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The conference publishes standings, schedules, results and all-conference awards through its esports portal. For 2026-27, The Sun Conference partnered with the National Esports Collegiate Conference (NECC) to support esports sponsorship and help manage the spring championship while continuing to sponsor the same three titles.
