Marvel Rivals Tournaments in Texas
Marvel Rivals is the newest core title on the TEC calendar and one of the fastest-growing games in Texas school esports. TEC runs Conference league play and LAN tournaments for it, with in-person events that bring Texas teams together.
New to the calendar for 2026-27
Marvel Rivals earned its spot on the core lineup: the 6v6 format fits rosters that already compete in team titles, the game is free to play, and student demand for it is everywhere. Rivals gets its own Conference match night, so no roster has to choose between titles.
One Texas calendar, two tracks
Two seasons that align with the high school academic calendar. Regular-season league play online, with regional and state finals held in person.
Three tournament splits per academic year: fall, winter, and spring. One membership covers every title and every split. See the split calendar.
Match scheduling is Texas-time and built around school commitments. LAN events are held at Texas venues. Online play is guaranteed if a venue is not confirmed.
Built for Texas schools and colleges
- Texas high schools join through the Scholastic track at $500 per school, per academic year. Includes one Varsity and one JV team per game.
- Texas colleges and universities (2-year and 4-year, varsity or club) join through the Collegiate track at $1,000 per institution, per academic year.
New programs are welcome. Marvel Rivals is free to play, so a lab of capable PCs is all a school needs to field its first roster.
Pricing is member-first and posted up front
