FaZe Clan as a company is majority owned through its parent, GameSquare, while brand control and media rights are heavily tied to FaZe’s founders, especially Richard “FaZe Banks” Bengtson. In simple terms: the corporate owner is GameSquare, but the recognizable “FaZe” brand and its media arm are led and partially owned by FaZe Banks and other original members.

Who legally owns FaZe Clan?

  • FaZe Clan’s parent company, FaZe Holdings, was acquired in an all‑stock deal by esports and gaming company GameSquare, giving GameSquare majority control over FaZe Clan at the corporate level.
  • After the deal, FaZe Clan operates as part of GameSquare’s portfolio of esports and gaming brands, alongside other properties the holding company owns.

Role of FaZe Banks and founders

  • Richard “FaZe Banks” Bengtson, one of the original founders, returned as CEO of FaZe after the GameSquare acquisition, taking a leading role in running the brand day to day.
  • GameSquare created a subsidiary called FaZe Media for the content and IP side; Banks personally bought a significant minority stake (around a quarter) in this media entity, giving him direct ownership in that part of the FaZe ecosystem.

Esports vs media: who owns what?

  • GameSquare continues to own FaZe’s core esports operations (teams and competitive side) through its full ownership of the esports entity.
  • FaZe Media, which covers much of the brand’s content and media IP, is jointly tied to GameSquare and Banks, with GameSquare having recently sold down its stake to give more control back to founders.

So, who is “the owner” of FaZe Clan?

  • From a business/stock perspective, the owner is GameSquare, which holds the controlling interest in FaZe Clan’s corporate structure.
  • From a creator and brand perspective, most fans see FaZe Banks (and other founders like FaZe Temperrr and FaZe Apex) as the key “owners,” since they lead the brand and hold personal equity in FaZe’s media side.
