Sooner Esports functions as the practicuum and execution space for 3 of our programs. Media & News, Streaming Entertainment, and Production work can all be viewed here as we turn our passions into documentation and advocacy through articles, opinion pieces, live broadcast, reviews, and story telling. Additionally, you will find the rosters of our offiical intercollegiate esports teams that represent OU formally in national and global competition for prestige and scholarship awards. 

Sooner Esports serves as the media outlet for all things gaming and esports at OU and is entirely student driven to serve the purpose of being our own ESPN.com, Kotaku, Dotesports, and more. Much of it's focus takes the venerable OU Athletics "Sooner Sports" intentionality coupled with more student pulse and view in tandem with the business needs of engagement and providing insight to all fans of our university, programs, teams, and industry.
