Armed Forces Dungeon League



The Armed Force Dungeon League (AFDL) is committed to providing military personnel worldwide with a fun, competitive, family-friendly way to interact through esports.

“I have been playing WoW for almost 20 years now and it has been one of the most impactful things in my life. My dad and I came to bond growing up raiding from Vanilla to MoP, and even my groomsmen in my wedding were people I met through the game. Competing with AFG and in the AFDL has allowed me to not only combine two major factors of my life (the military and gaming) but also have the opportunity to compete alongside as well as against other service members. It has been an amazing experience, and I have gotten to meet some very incredible people throughout its process.”Dris (Air Force Gaming)


Although First Person Shooter (FPS) games are overrepresented in most other military esports, the AFDL promotes events targeted at more family-friendly titles. The success of the AFDL World of Warcraft CLASH pilot events in 2022 and the inaugural Mythic+ Season in 2023 proved that military organizations are willing to support tournaments and events for non-shooter games.

You can support the AFDL and its mission by volunteering or donating here! All funds raised by the AFDL are split between their charity incentives and league operations.
