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.
It consists of three titles: sports simulation NBA 2K for console, first-person tactical hero shooter Valorant for PC, and multiplayer online battle arena Mobile Legends: Bang Bang 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.
