Taking place throughout July and August, the 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC<\/strong>) featured 25 tournaments across 24 esports titles, with hundreds of players and several esports organisations from around the world taking part.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Since its inaugural event in 2024, discussions about the Esports World Cup’s viewership have remained a hot topic among fans and industry stakeholders. Like last year, the tournament was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which continues to draw criticism due to the Kingdom\u2019s human rights record<\/strong><\/a>. Now that all of its tournaments have concluded, the question is how many viewers tuned in to the competition, where $70m (~\u00a352.2m) was up for grabs?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Esports Insider takes a closer look at the stats for each title separately to see how the event compares with last year and its competitors.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
