SEA Sponsorship Program

Compete for
Real Sponsorship

SEA gives teams more than a tournament to enter. It gives them a chance to prove they are worth backing.

Sponsors inside the SEA ecosystem are looking for teams that can perform, promote, grow communities, and move people to action. The teams that rise above the rest may earn opportunities to represent real brands, participate in exclusive campaigns, and unlock sponsorship relationships that go far beyond the game.
