Produced by Ampverse DMI, College Rivals Season 3 will feature more than 70 colleges, covering 20+ cities, providing an opportunity for students in different regions of the country to be properly represented.
Creators Join The Rivalry
The hunt began on the 11th of August, 2025, in Delhi NCR. This represents the start of months of play and esports competition. This season of College Rivals will feature a range of games, including BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India), Valorant and EA Sports FC 25! This season will also include chess which is being leveraged as a demonstration sport to illustrate the depth of competitive gaming and how it is continuing to grow and grow in terms of variety as a competition.
Although Season 3 is about competition, it is also about community. Attending the event will be recognisable creators and gaming streamers like Shreeman Legend, Mizo, LoLzZz Gaming and Zgod Gaming. There will be other exclusive content drops, live streams, and visitations to campuses to bring the competition to the student and potential participants, and make it as exciting as possible.

Since esports are becoming more popular in India, College Rivals is looking to be the initial launchpad for young talent. With popular games, strategic gameplay, and content from creators, they want to enhance the experience for players and viewers alike.
With more stakes than before, we expect Season 3 to be the largest College Rivals yet, combining nail-biting matches, creator participation, and massive student involvement in one large-scale esports event.
