The Esports Awards 2025 is now over, and this year’s show delivered a strong mix of expected wins and surprising results. The annual ceremony returned to the HyperX Arena in Las Vegas to celebrate the biggest names, teams, creators, and brands that shaped the global esports scene this year.
This edition also marked the 10th anniversary of the Esports Awards, making it a special milestone for the industry. It is important to note that this event is separate from the Esports Decade Awards held earlier at the Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh.
As always, the awards focused on competitive excellence, community impact, and the creative work that continues to push gaming culture forward. With 22 categories across esports performance, content creation, and community roles, the 2025 lineup highlights just how wide and diverse the industry has become.
