Esports and Football Careers
March 10, 2026 at 09:40 AM
Merged Sports and Gaming Careers (duplicate article covering same DG Esports and Nautilus FC careers). Sports article deleted, slug added as alias.
inZOI has a variety of careers beyond traditional office and service work. Two of the more distinctive options are Esports and Football careers. Each has its own city, organization, and progression track. Jobs are accessed through the Career app on the Smartphone.
Before looking at individual careers, it is important to understand the two job types in inZOI:
Job Type | How It Works | Player Control |
|---|---|---|
The Zoi disappears into the workplace building for the duration of the shift. Random work events may appear as pop-up choices. | No direct control during shift. Choices influence performance and mood. | |
Active Job | The player directly controls the Zoi at the workplace, completing timed tasks and mini-games throughout the shift. | Full direct control. Performance depends on completing tasks efficiently. |
The Esports career is located at DG Esports in Dowon. It is a Rabbit Hole job, meaning your Zoi enters the DG Esports facility and you receive occasional event prompts during the shift.
Rank | Title | Pay per Shift (Meow) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Amateur Gamer | 264 | Entry level |
2 | Pro Gamer | 864 | Mid-tier promotion |
3 | Legendary Gamer | 1,998 | Top rank |

The Esports career benefits from a high Programming skill. While not strictly required, reaching Level 10 Programming significantly improves shift performance and promotion speed. The Plesio Gaming Cafe near DG Esports is a good location for practicing programming and meeting other gaming-focused Zois.
The Football career is located at Bliss Bay Nautilus in Bliss Bay. Like Esports, it is a Rabbit Hole job.
Rank | Title | Pay per Shift (Meow) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Backup Player | 264 | Entry level, bench role |

Organization | Bliss Bay Nautilus |
Football has the shortest shift duration of these three careers, ending at 3:00 PM instead of 6:00 PM or 8:00 PM. This leaves more time in the day for other activities, training, or a second income source. The fitness skill is relevant for Athletic performance, so spending time at the gym or jogging before shifts can improve results.
The Football career has three ranks with significant salary jumps at each promotion. The schedule and work days remain the same across all ranks.
Rank | Salary (Meow) | Schedule | Days per Week |
|---|---|---|---|
Backup Player | 264 | 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM | 3 |
Starting Player | 864 | 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM | 3 |
All-Star Player | 1,998 | 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM | 3 |
The salary more than triples from Backup Player (264 Meow) to Starting Player (864 Meow), and more than doubles again to All-Star Player (1,998 Meow). The jump from Backup to Starting is the single biggest salary increase in the career line.
Open the Smartphone and navigate to the Careers app.
Browse the available positions under Bliss Bay listings.
Select the Backup Player position at Bliss Bay Nautilus and tap Apply.
The Football career is only available in Bliss Bay. Zois living in Dowon cannot see this listing. No prior experience, education, or skills are required to apply, though having a strong Fitness skill before starting helps with early performance. Young Adult, Adult, and Middle-Aged Zois are eligible.
Like all rabbit hole careers, Football promotions are driven primarily by consistent attendance and your Zoi's overall condition when arriving at work. There are no visible task checklists.
Attendance: Show up to every shift on time and stay for the full duration. Missing shifts or leaving early resets promotion progress. Three unexcused absences result in termination.
Fitness skill: The Fitness skill directly improves athletic career performance. Work out regularly on off days using treadmills, gym equipment, or sports activities like basketball and volleyball.
Needs: Send your Zoi to work with full needs bars. A well-rested, well-fed Zoi with high energy performs better during shifts.
Mood: A Zoi in a positive mood earns better performance scores. Address negative emotions before the shift starts.
The promotion meter fills gradually across multiple shifts. Expect roughly a week or longer of in-game time between promotions. Rabbit hole careers advance slower than active careers where completing visible tasks directly feeds the promotion bar.
The Football career stands out for its combination of high pay and short hours. At the All-Star rank, your Zoi earns 1,998 Meow per shift for just six hours of work (9 AM to 3 PM), three days per week.
Career | Top Salary | Hours per Shift | Meow per Hour | Days per Week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Football (All-Star) | 1,998 | 6 hrs (9 AM - 3 PM) | 333 | 3 |
Law (Partner) | 2,040 | 9 hrs (9 AM - 6 PM) | 227 | 3 |
Criminal (Boss) | 2,169 | 9 hrs (9 AM - 6 PM) | 241 | 3 |
Navy (Colonel) | 1,827 | 9 hrs (9 AM - 6 PM) | 203 | 3 |
Pro Gamer (Legendary) | 1,998 | 9 hrs (9 AM - 6 PM) | 222 | 3 |
While the Law Partner and Criminal Boss earn slightly more per shift, the Football All-Star has the highest Meow-per-hour rate in the game at 333 Meow/hour. The short 3 PM finish also gives your Zoi the entire afternoon and evening free for building skills, maintaining relationships, or pursuing hobbies.

Both Esports and Football are Rabbit Hole careers with identical pay scales (264 to 1,998 Meow) and 3 ranks.
Football's 6-hour shift leaves the most free time per work day, making it ideal for Zois who want to pursue hobbies, side jobs, or social events in the evenings.
Build your Programming skill before starting the Esports career and Fitness before Football. The relevant skill directly impacts shift performance and promotion speed.
For the highest-paying career in the game, look into the criminal careers (Boss rank at 2,169 Meow per shift).
