National Esports Performance Campus – Elevating UK Gaming Talent & Performance

The National Esports Performance Campus (NEPC), located in Sunderland and operated by the British Esports Federation, is a cutting-edge facility dedicated to gaming, esports training and performance development. According to the NEPC site, the campus spans approximately 45,000 sq ft and includes modern classrooms, performance rooms and on-site residential “gaming houses” for immersive stays. More than just a venue, the NEPC is crafted to nurture next-gen gaming talent across the UK. With top-tier hardware (Alienware Aurora R15 desktops powered by NVIDIA RTX 4080 and Intel Core i7) and a full broadcast-ready environment, the campus supports bootcamps, student events, national team formations and brand activations.

Facilities span an arena-style event space with high-spec PCs, and nearby “gaming house” accommodation tailored for visiting squads. It’s the home base of British Esports, so the campus routinely hosts Student Champs LANs, workshops, and community days, giving the venue a year-round competitive pulse.
