CSMG College Street Fighter Tour announced

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced Friday that it has partnered with game maker Capcom to launch the College Street Fighter Tour, with finalists competing at the Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas in 2025 during its 2024-25 academic year. Street Fighter 6 joins Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2, Rocket League, and Valorant as an official competitive game title for CECC.

Every college or university from a two-year or four-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers, according to a release. CECC also announced that former Beyond Gaming, Collegiate Starleague, and Virgin Gaming executive Wim Stocks will serve as the commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of 2023, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

Additional details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be announced later this year.

This news comes as the CSMG welcomes 84 teams this weekend to Esports Stadium Arlington (May 3-5) for the chance to win a championship in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2, Rocket League, and Valorant. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel this weekend.
