About
The ACL runs Australia’s first nation-wide competitive gaming circuit, home to the most skilled gamers from a wide array of console and PC titles.

The Australian Cyber League aims to bring gaming to the forefront of social activity. Gaming is a fantastic hobby and a great way for people to not only interact but also compete with others to prove they have what it takes to be the best at their game.

ACL strives to be the eSports leader in Australia and we constantly work to bring awareness of competitive gaming to the average person. Now running the world’s most popular games across PC, console and mobile platforms, the ACL frequently works with publishing partners to help deliver international quality branded events. In recent years, the ACL team has collaborated with Riot Games, Activision & Blizzard to operate World Championship qualifiers in the Oceanic region. Similarly, the Australian Cyber League also works in partnership with other global gaming operators such as Major League Gaming (MLG) in North America and Gfinity in Europe.

The ACL was founded in 2006 with its roots firmly in the console scene, particularly the First Person Shooter (FPS) genre and Xbox’s Halo franchise.

The organization continued humbly to run grass-roots events until new leadership came to the group in 2009. With this, a capital injection and broader national growth strategy meant ACL grew rapidly to service more gamers right around Australia. The addition of other gaming titles and genres in multiple cities via a traveling circuit helped establish the Australian Cyber League as the premier gaming tournaments brand.
