The UAAP Esports Tournament is an esports competition among member-schools of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. Its first edition was held in 2024 at the Areté Creativity and Innovation hub within the Ateneo de Manila University.[1] [2]

It consists of three titles: sports simulation NBA 2K for console, first-person tactical hero shooter Valorant for PC, and multiplayer online battle arena for mobile. The competition is currently only an exhibition sport or formally a special event; thus, it has no bearing on the overall standing.

In its first competition, all eight UAAP member-schools joined.
