Route 66 Sports Rivals starts with the two Springfields — but the Mother Road runs 2,448 miles from Lake Michigan to the Santa Monica Pier. Our roadmap brings city-vs-city VR esports rivalries to every major hub along the historic highway. Founding sponsors lock in before the series goes multi-state.
The proving ground: 10 competitive leagues, Meta Quest 3 broadcasts, and the first Route 66 Rumble championship.
The route's two biggest metros join, creating four-city in-state showdowns on each side of the Mississippi.
Oklahoma's twin hubs plus the Texas Panhandle — the heart of the Mother Road comes online.
The western run ends where Route 66 does — the Santa Monica Pier — with a coast-to-heartland national Rumble.
We're recruiting founding franchise operators in all 8 future hubs. Territory rights are exclusive — one operator per city.
