Fitzroy Esports Arena
NetMatrixHub is Fitzroy's home for competitive gaming — 80 high-refresh battlestations, sound-treated stream rooms, and a floor built for late-night ranked grinds and sold-out tournament nights.
What we run
Whether you're queuing solo after work or bringing a full five-stack for a bootcamp, there's a station and a session built for it.
From A$12 / hour
Drop into any of our 80 RTX 4080 rigs or PS5 / Series X pods. 240Hz panels, low-latency peripherals, and fibre on tap.
Includes free locker, unlimited filtered water, and a members' rate of A$9/hr after 50 logged hours. Peak hours 6–10pm.
From A$180 / 3 hrs
Private five-station room for CS2, Valorant and Rocket League squads, with a whiteboard, VOD screen and a coach on call.
Add a certified coach for A$70/hr for tactical review. Ideal for Fitzroy amateur leagues prepping for weekend qualifiers.
Entry from A$25
Weekly BYO-squad brackets and monthly open cups, streamed live from our two-camera stage on Gertrude Street.
Prize pools up to A$2,000, casters on the mic, and a licensed bar next door. Register by 7pm Thursdays for the Friday cup.

Good to know
Walk-ins are always welcome and we hold a block of bays for them every day. That said, evenings and weekends fill fast, so we recommend booking a bay online if you want a guaranteed spot after 6pm. Team rooms should always be reserved in advance.
Yes. Under-18s are welcome until 8pm daily, and all day on weekends with a parent or guardian for first visits. Some late tournament nights are 18+ due to the licensed bar next door, and those are clearly marked when you register.
We're at 77 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy — a two-minute walk from the Gertrude Street tram stops on route 86. Metered street parking is available along Gertrude and Brunswick Streets, and the Fitzroy Town Hall car park is a short stroll away.
Every session includes your station, a personal locker, unlimited filtered water and access to our full peripheral library. Games are pre-installed on Steam, Epic, Riot and Battle.net, and you can log into your own accounts securely — everything wipes when you log out.
We do — the whole floor can be booked out for birthdays, studio launches and team socials. Packages start at A$600 for a two-hour exclusive block including a host and a mini-tournament. Email us and we'll build a run sheet around your group.
We're open seven days: 10am to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 10am to 2am Friday and Saturday. Tournament nights occasionally run later — check the schedule at the front desk or when you book.
