2026 Spring Season Week 1

With Week 1 complete, the 2026 Spring Season of the Collegiate Rivals Series is officially underway!

This season, 52 teams are divided into 4 divisions and Deadpool is now a playable hero. 24 matches were played this past Saturday with 4 teams taking a bye. Some of the results: all the returning top-6 teams from last season won their matches this week.

In one snap shot from Saturday's action, the current CRS champions, University of Nebraska, took on the San Jose State Spartans. Nebraska won Game 1, with the Hell's Heaven map being picked at random. In Midtown for Game 2, the Spartans brought it back, winning Round 1, but only getting to Check Point 1 before Nebraska stopped them. After switching sides in Round 2, Nebraska was able to reach Check Point 2, and gain the 2 points needed to win the round and their first match-up of the new season.

There is a lot more to look at going into Week 2. Be sure to catch Evergreen Valley College's Hawk Gaming Green face the Huskies of George Brown College this Saturday at 4pm Eastern Time followed by Nebraska Esports versus Matadors Red at 5:30 Eastern on the CRS Twitch channel! https://www.twitch.tv/collegiaterivalsseries
