The British Esports Federation (also known as British Esports) is the national body for esports (or competitive video gaming) in the United Kingdom[citation needed]. It was established in March 2016 as the British Esports Association to help develop the UK's grassroots esports scene and provide an infrastructure to nurture future talent.
