The Esports Awards has revealed the finalists and categories for this year’s edition of the annual awards ceremony.Categories for The Esports Awards 2025 include Esports Game of the Year, Esports Content Group of the Year, and Esports Host of the Year. However, this year Esports Coverage Platform of the Year has been omitted from the list.A total of 21 categories have been named, with the ceremony set to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 19th, 2025.

On November 20th, esports industry conference PWR UP will occur, featuring a range of panels and forums led by industry professionals. Esports Awards has yet to reveal any names taking part. “The Esports Awards continues to shine a light on the best in esports and gaming, and we’re thrilled to present our tenth anniversary awards ceremony,” said Michael Ashford, CEO of the Esports Awards.“Following last year’s introduction of two annual shows, we are thrilled to celebrate this year’s best in the esports industry in Las Vegas.”The Esports Awards 2025 is the second awards ceremony to have taken place this year, organised by its organisers. In August, the ceremony hosted a one-off Decade Awards in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to celebrate ten years of competitive gaming achievements.

Category Changes For 2025

For 2025, the Coverage Platform of the Year award has been replaced with the Esports Supporting Platform of the Year. As a result, no esports publications have been shortlisted for an award.In addition to the lack of coverage platform award, the category list doesn’t include the Esports Journalist of the Year, a category last seen in 2023 before it was dropped. With this omission in mind, it is important to still celebrate and support publications that continue to cover every aspect of the industry with a wealth of insight and expertise. This includes, but is not limited to, the likes of HLTV, The Esports Advocate, Sheep Esports, Hotspawn, Esports News UK, Esports.net and The Esports Radar, among many others
