The Collegiate Chess League's third season is set to begin on September 18, 2021, and runs until the finals on November 21.

The first two seasons saw schools from all over the US join and compete, and now we are going global! With 160 teams registered from all across the world, there will be 10 divisions competing for a prize fund of $25,000!

This fall season is poised to be the largest yet. With so many teams playing concurrently, it will be impossible for an official broadcast to cover all the matches. Although an official broadcast will be provided for key matchups, teams are encouraged to stream their own matches. All college chess streamers are invited to join Chess.com's Streamer Program. This is one of many benefits Chess.com is providing to players competing this season.

Below you can find all the information you need to know regarding our third season:

Matches will be broadcast live at twitch.tv/collegiatechesleague with commentary done by the league's commissioner, Joe Lee, with additional guests throughout the season. Playoffs will be on the Chess.com Twitch Channel. Players are also encouraged to stream their own matches and are invited to join Chess.com's streamer program. Be sure to include that you are a CCL player when you apply. Benefits include:
