Northern Virginia Community College

Welcome to the home of Nighthawks Esports. Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) is one of the only institutions in Virginia to currently have a full esports practice arena which utilizes top of the line equipment and custom gear. Athletes and coaches use the space daily to develop our teams into champions. Boasting full varsity and junior varsity rosters for multiple games, custom player jerseys, a full custom practice arena, and other esports swag, NOVA is one of the largest and most robust collegiate esports programs on the east coast.

Here at NOVA we also offer a full intramural esports program with a lengthy games list where students can engage in friendly competition with their fellow students. Opportunities to be a part of esports, outside of a player, exist at NOVA to allow students to hone their experiences in the world of esports beyond the game.

NOVA is located in the Washington, D.C. area, the College includes six campuses -- Alexandria, Annandale, Loudoun, Manassas, MEC (Springfield) and Woodbridge; along with Reston Educational Center and ELI. NOVA is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges and offers more than 160 degrees at the associate's level and certificate programs for our student-athletes.
