The USO is set to host its annual Commanders Cup gaming tournament, bringing together teams from all six U.S. military branches for a competitive Rocket League showdown.

The event, scheduled for August 10-11, 2024, will take place at the USO Gaming Center on Eglin Air Force Base. Gaming teams from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force will vie for the prestigious Commanders Cup title.

Tournament play begins on August 10 at 2:00 p.m. EDT and continues on August 11 at 11:00 a.m. EDT. Fans can catch the action live on the USO’s Twitch channel.

Barry Morris, Senior Marketing and Communications Specialist for the USO in the Southeast U.S., emphasized the event’s significance beyond mere competition.

“The Commanders Cup stands out not only for its competitive nature but also for fostering teamwork, camaraderie, and a sense of community among service members,” Morris said. “USO Gaming offers a valuable respite from the stresses of military life, promoting mental health and operational readiness through the power of gaming.”

The tournament is part of the broader USO Gaming Program, which aims to support service members’ well-being through recreational activities.

“The USO Gaming Program and events like the Commander’s Cup Gaming Tournament play an essential role in supporting the well-being of our military service members,” Morris added. “By providing a space for relaxation, socialization, and friendly competition, the program helps boost morale and fosters a sense of belonging among service members.”

The Commanders Cup tournament will be held at the USO Gaming Center, located at 404 Wicker Rd, Eglin AFB, FL 32542. USO Global Gaming Program staff will be on hand to facilitate the event.
