ESPC is Tampa's first-ever Esports academy and tournament venue.

Esports Players Club

Esports Players Club, Tampa's first-ever Esports academy and tournament venue, is set for its grand opening the weekend of February 4-6. The club, located in South Tampa at 1802 W. Kennedy Blvd., is a premier venue where clients take classes on individual games, content creation, video editing, and many more to develop their skills as professional Esports gamers or streamers.

The club, one of the first nationally to be open to the general public, will be membership-based, much like a fitness center, and focused on class-based skill development in a safe, constructive space that bridges the gap between online and in-person interaction. Esports Players Club will offer monthly and annual memberships, as well as options for eight classes per month or unlimited access to the facility.
