The Esports Awards and the Esports World Cup Foundation have teamed up for an exciting three-year partnership. This collaboration will bring the prestigious Esports Awards ceremony to the Esports World Cup, a major gaming festival happening this summer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Scheduled for August 24, the 2024 Esports Awards in Riyadh will be a glamorous gala celebrating the best in esports worldwide. The event honors outstanding clubs, athletes, content creators, games, and more. Fans will get to vote for their favorites once finalists are announced on June 27.
Originally starting in London in 2015, the Esports Awards has grown into a global platform recognizing excellence in esports. Last year’s ceremony in Las Vegas drew a massive audience of over 22 million viewers and set a Guinness World Record for the largest digital video game display.
Riyadh marks the first time the Esports Awards will be held in Saudi Arabia, highlighting the region's booming esports community. The partnership with the Esports World Cup promises an enhanced experience with activities like a Lifetime Achievement mixer, a Red Carpet Event, and the awards ceremony itself.
The Esports World Cup in Riyadh will be a hub for esports fans, featuring 20 game championships with a record-breaking $60 million prize pool. It aims to unite gamers, publishers, and fans from around the world in celebration of competitive gaming excellence.
