About
After a full season across Winter and Spring, the top university teams in Ireland have earned their place in the Premier Division semi-finals — with just one series separating them from Finals weekend on May 23rd–24th. Now, across four nights of competition, the stakes are simple: win and advance, or the season ends. This is the eighth consecutive season of the Ireland Esports Collegiate Series — and the first under the new Premier Division format, where each university’s top team competes for institutional pride as much as individual titles.
The 4 top teams from the regular season events (2026 Spring Series Premier and the earlier 2025 Winter Series Premier) qualified to the semi finals, with the final 2 teams to proceed to the LAN finals. The points over these regular season events was as follows:
| 2025/26 Season Ranking | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Trinity Quacks | 200 |
| 2nd | UCD Leviathans | 110 |
| 3rd / 4th | SETU Vikings | 100 |
| 3rd / 4th | UCC Boring Players | 100 |
| 5th | QUB Whiffers | 70 |
| 6th | MUVINCERE | 60 |
| 7th | TUD A | 20 |
| 8th | DCU Clutch or Drink | 10 |
| 9th | ATU Aegis | 0 |
The top four teams, determined by championship points accumulated across both semesters, advance to the Semi-Finals. Matchups are seeded:
- 1st vs 4th
- 2nd vs 3rd
