Extra Life United goes virtual | Sign up + unlock $150,000 for children’s hospitals

Now, more than ever, your local children’s hospital needs support.

We are proud to be converting Extra Life United to an online experience – Extra Life United: Online Edition. We have huge plans to spread joy and raise life-saving funds with our virtual tournament. Your local children’s hospital is a beacon of healing and hope to vulnerable children in your community. Your hospital needs gamers like you.

To help, follow these three steps:

STEP 2 | Register for the Tournament

Register for the virtual tournament (registration link will be emailed to you after you sign up). If you registered for our original IRL tournament, your registration has transferred over, but games have changed so login to update your games. (We’re refunding your IRL registration funds.)

We’re offering new games and created an updated site to accommodate more participants. You can compete in the following games:

• Lethal League Blaze
• Magic the Gathering Arena
• Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid
• Puyo Puyo Champions
• Rocket League
• Splendor
• Uno

During these challenging times we want everyone to have the chance to compete and unlock funds from our $150,000 USD prize pool for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, which is why the tournament is free. But if you want to donate $10 to your page, we won’t stand in your way!
