New Partnership - Syracuse

Rival is proud to partner with Syracuse University Esports to bring new competitive experiences to the Orange community — both online and in person. Together, we’re creating moments that unite students through gameplay, connection, and school pride, while building a foundation for ongoing gaming and esports engagement on campus.

At Syracuse, gaming plays a meaningful role in bringing students together. It creates shared experiences, sparks friendly competition, and gives players a stage to show what they can do. This latest Madden 26 competition is one example of how the program continues to grow and activate its community in new ways.
