There’s no shortage of opportunities for destinations to get involved with. 2026 is set to feature 20 live arena events in front of tens of thousands of fans, with the expectation of increasing to 25 live events in 2027.

James Woollard, BLAST’s Director of Market Development said: “Esports is one of the fastest-growing entertainment industries in the world, and BLAST has a proven record of delivering award-winning arena events that captivate millions of fans online and thousands in person. Our goal is to partner with destinations in a long-term and meaningful way, and to drive tangible financial, political, social and destination marketing benefits for our host markets. We also want to bring esports closer to more fanbases across the globe, reaching new regions and allowing more fans than ever to watch and enjoy live BLAST events. Our repeat events and return to host destinations shows that we are delivering real value and meaningful impacts for cities, leading to strategic, multi-year deals.”
