Today on livestream we announced that the next game jam theme is… Drumroll please… **Sports Jam!** That’s right! For this jam, we’re looking for games that capture the competitive spirit of **Sports**. Now some of you are probably thinking “But wait Richard, I HATE sports”. Hey, I’m right there with ya! I could care less about baskets, bases, volleyballs, or any of that other nonsense. But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying video games _about_ sports! In fact, I’m willing to bet that just about everyone reading this can name some sports games that they like playing even if they automatically tune out any sports broadcast that enters into their field of vision/hearing. In fact, many of the most popular game genres are all about sports and competition! **Racing** games, **fighting** games, **battle royale** games… heck even Pong is a sports game! And hey **ESports** are a thing too! Video games and sports go together like peanut butter and jelly. And to be clear, while you can totally make a plain old baseball or football game, your game doesn’t need to have anything to do with a real life sport. Make up your own sport! Make a game about things that are sports-adjacent like managing teams or doing news broadcasts! Make a puzzle game where matching together three jewels somehow makes it so you get a homerun! The world is your oyster. This game jam will be running from **April 1st, 2026 to** ~~May 15th, 2026~~ **May 17th, 2026**! For full details, rules, and instructions on how to submit your game, check out the game jam site below: > **[MakeCode Arcade Game Jam](https://arcade.makecode.com/gamejam/sports)** > > The MakeCode Arcade Game Jam goes from April 1st to May 15th Edit: The deadline has been extended to Sunday, May 17th, 2026 at 11:59 PM pacific! ---
