Each year, the Esports Awards commemorates vital industry figures and communities that make esports great. 2025 marks its 10th anniversary, and the Esports Awards is adopting a celebratory 'Decade Awards' theme. Let's explore how fans can get involved and watch the event, including key dates and which platforms will broadcast it live.

Esports Awards: What is it?

The Esports Awards recognizes the best and most impactful esports organizations, teams, players, content creators and industry figures. It occurs annually, and the event livestreams its ceremony for viewers to watch. The Esports Awards includes a nomination process from community members and professionals, picking final award winners through a voting process. Pros hailing from all game genres, from MOBAs like League of Legends to FPS like Call of Duty, are eligible for recognition.

The Esports Awards' website states that it is dedicated to three main tenets:

  • Recognizing Excellence: "Our aim is to ensure that success and achievement in esports is celebrated globally."
  • Creating a Legacy: "The players, teams, organisations, gamers, suppliers, distributors, platforms and fans have created esports as an industry, we document the contributions and successes ensuring they are immortalised."
  • Honouring the Industry: "Understanding and highlighting the processes that go on behind the scenes of every tournament and game played."

In 2025, the Esports Awards will celebrate its 10th anniversary. The event is adopting a 'Decade Awards' theme to celebrate, with sleek aesthetics and timeless gold and white colors. As part of a three-year partnership with the Esports World Cup, which currently has the largest prize pool in esports history, it will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
