The 2023 season of the New Zealand Esports Hyperfibre League will host 5 Games total. Valorant and Rocket League which will compete for the LAN Event. Then we have a smaller DOTA2, Street Fighter 6 and PUBG Mobile bracket that will have an online Grand Final.

Only full teams can sign up on our website, but if you’re an individual or have a small group looking for a few more, you can hunt for more players on our Discord server.

No – The NZEHL is for players of all skill levels. If you are super competitive, you will be seeded into progressively more difficult matches. If you are more casual and just like to compete, you will be seeded into the lower divisions of play.

We hope to introduce more divisions in the future for special age categories.

Guilds are the heart of the NZ Esports Hyperfibre League – every team competes nationally, but only one representative from each guild qualifies for the national final
