Overview World Chase Tag turns playground tag into a league sport: one chaser, one evader, 20 seconds on a 12-by-12-meter court called the Quad, and whoever wins the chase stays on for the next one. Teams of up to six play 16 chases a match, and an evader scores by lasting the full 20 seconds. WCT's own count puts its clips at more than 2.5 billion organic views online. Christian Devaux founded it in the U.K. in 2012 after a game of tag with his child, and Damien Devaux joined him in 2013. On site Each chase is called by commentators, and close calls go to Disputed Tag Review, WCT's version of VAR, which the league says gets called once or twice a match. A season runs on Chase-Off ranking events at venues such as Dexterity Depot in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, NYX Training Center in Woodstock, Georgia, and MVMNTM in Concord, California, plus national championships, an EMEA Championship at Topsportcentrum Rotterdam in December 2026 and a World Championships. Audience Most of the audience watches online, and it watches late. WCT's deck says each chase averages 2 million views on its social channels and that 75% of a clip's views arrive between two and eight months after the event, against 90% inside seven to ten days for traditional leagues. By WCT's count the viewers are led by the United States, then India, the U.K., Mexico and Indonesia. Talent and Influencers Athletes compete for club teams. Marrero Gang won the first three championships from 2016 to 2018, Hollywood Freerunners took WCT6 in 2024, and Rooftop Kings won the Open division at WCT7 in June 2026, when Volt won the women's. WCT6 in Paris put 132 athletes from 10 countries on the Quad. Track record WCT1 ran at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London in 2016, and York Hall in London hosted the next four championships through 2022 before the World Championships moved to France. Events have aired on NBCSN in the United States and on Channel 4, ITV and BBC Three in the U.K. WCT6 was streamed on twelve platforms, 1,700 fans came for the final and the merchandise sold out. A 30-day athlete highlight campaign on TikTok drew 36 million views, 1.3 million likes and 26,629 votes. Brand presence The league sells its broadcast as the inventory. A partner can take the front or back of the athletes' jerseys, a "brought to you by" read from the commentators, branded graphics on standings, results and athlete introductions, the interview backdrop, or the Disputed Tag Review graphic that runs each time a tag is challenged. Athletes also make content as creators for partners. The deck names U.S. Integrity and ALT Sports as the league's partners on sports betting.
