EXCEL ESPORTS has announced the launch of its XL Headquarters which signalled a “significant moment” in the growth of the organisation by cementing its roots in central London with a “cutting edge” 5,660 sq ft gaming facility.

Over the last 12 months, EXCEL has seen significant growth in all areas of the business with new industry-leading partnerships in Just Eat and JD Sports, the expansion of its content creator family and now the opening of its official London headquarters, the XL HQ.

At 5,660 sq ft, the facility boasts streaming rooms, production studios and space for EXCEL’s community, teams, fans, partners and the wider gaming industry to utilise and enjoy.

Uniquely positioned in Shoreditch, London the HQ will aim to be a centralised place for the UK gaming community and a hub from where EXCEL will grow its operational footprint to Europe.

Going forward EXCEL will continue to build on its competitive success while growing and nurturing its British and international community. EXCEL will look to accelerate its growth through new initiatives and strategic partnerships focusing on its content development and creator economy.
