Farming Simulator League

A first for the UK!

Internationally acclaimed gaming series Farming Simulator has chosen leading machinery event LAMMA 2024 as the first ever UK venue for the 5th tournament within its esports Farming Simulator League.

The Farming Simulator League event will take place across both days of the show, with teams of three players each competing live from the League Theatre within the NEC, aiming to survive multiple knock-out rounds to reach the final.

Visitors to this years LAMMA show will be able to watch the competition live and try the game for themselves on the Farming Simulator stand 11.290.

BE PART OF THE ACTION!

During the Farming Simulator League tournament, players earn points by manoeuvring tractors and other equipment over hilly terrain to deliver bales into their team’s barn, as well as by harvesting grain from a field using combines, tractors and trailers.

Various other game elements and challenges impact strategies over the 10 minutes of game play, and the team with most points at the end wins. A full description of Farming Simulator League and its rules can be found here.

Novice and professional teams, of up to three players, are welcome to enter the first UK tournament at LAMMA 2024. All registered teams will be entered into a digital tournament prior to the live event to whittle down to the final eight teams that will play on the day.

With more than 30 million units sold worldwide, Farming Simulator is a genre-leading phenomenon. Farming Simulator 22 features more than 150 agricultural brands like Case IH, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, and Valtra .

The series celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2023, and since its launch as a niche product for farming enthusiasts, it has developed to include multiplayer mode, mobile and console versions, esports, and most recently crossplay-multiplayer ability. Users are also able to create their own modifications to the game, with 2.5 billion “mod” downloads over the course of the series.

Sarah Whittaker-Smith, Event Director at LAMMA said: “The world of esports may be new to some in our industry, but we know that a lot of farmers are also gamers. Many finish work on the farm, then go home to pick up their controllers and play in the evening. LAMMA is the perfect place for Farming Simulator League’s first UK event.
