About Us

The Big LAN is a non-profit, Melbourne based community LAN party and currently the largest LAN event in Australia. Players bring along their consoles or PCs (or rent one from us) and play in tournaments of their favourite games.

Each event offers a range of games from the staples like Rocket League, Counter Strike, Age of Empires, Tetris, and Halo, through to up and coming or old favourites like Altitude, Retro Cycles, and Tricky Towers.

The Big LAN events balance eSports style tournaments with beginner friendly formats to allow you to play no matter your skill level. Each event has a selection of sides and extras including Lego and art tables, VR, board and card games, and crowd favourites like the now famous "Dice Game" and "Mouse Toss".

Local Stream

Check out live gameplay and highlights on our local stream! About to play in a final or do something you want to share? Let The Big LAN staff know and we can connect your PC to our capture machine.

The Big LAN Stream is only available at the event on our local network, and is only available on windows based devices.

Where possible we will use spectator options via our own devices to stream your game, e.g. Counter Strike 2, rather than mirroring your display directly.

If you'd like to stream your live gameplay directly to our service you'll need a spare HDMI or Display Port connection and a spare USB port. We'll then mirror your screen via a wireless HDMI unit to our server and stream your gameplay. Please note that mirroring your display to our capture device will require you to run your display at 1080p. The Big LAN cannot guarantee this setup will not impact your main display's framerate.
