Official information about Visit Esports

• What it is: a free, English-language directory of esports events you can attend in person — LAN tournaments and hybrid tournaments with an on-site stage — organised by country, city and game.
• Who it is for: fans planning a trip to an event, players looking for local competitions, and anyone checking what is on in a city.
• Coverage (as of 27 October 2026): 108 country pages, 688 city pages and 48 game pages; 201 upcoming or ongoing events in 42 countries.
• Archive: more than 17,500 published event listings, with start dates from October 2016 onward.
• Access: browsing is free and needs no account.

An event is listed only if it is a video-game competition that takes place at a physical venue: fully offline (LAN), or hybrid with an in-person stage. That ranges from arena finals in Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Valorant, Dota 2 and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang to fighting-game majors and locals (Street Fighter, Tekken, Guilty Gear, Super Smash Bros.) and strategy and mobile titles — 135 game titles appear in the archive (as of 27 October 2026).

Each listing shows the event name, start and end dates, game, country and city, and — when the organiser has announced them — the venue and prize pool. Events are shown as live, upcoming or finished, and an upcoming event can be added to Google Calendar in one click.

Not listed: online-only tournaments, non-video-game competitions such as chess and poker, and events in Russia and Belarus.

Locations are grouped into five regions — Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Oceania — then by country and city. The full list is on Esports events by location.

Snapshot as of 27 October 2026 (upcoming and ongoing events):

• Countries with the most listings: United States (26), China (21), Saudi Arabia (17), Japan (13), Brazil (11).
• Games with the most listings: Counter-Strike (50), Valorant (19), Guilty Gear (12), Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (12).

These numbers move every week; the location and game pages always show the current schedule.

• Listings are compiled by the Visit Esports team from organisers' official announcements and public tournament information.
• Organisers can submit their own events; submissions are reviewed before they appear and are never published automatically.
• New listings are added most days: 267 were published in the 30 days to 27 October 2026, on 23 of those 30 days.
• Pages read the directory live; what you see may lag the database by up to about an hour because of caching.
• Dates, venues, prize pools and ticket links are as announced by the organiser and can change. For anything time-critical, the organiser's official page is authoritative.

• Find esports events: searchable list of upcoming and live events with filters for country, city, game and time window.
• Esports events by location: every region, country and city that has listings.
• Country page (example: Germany) — /locations/{country-code}: lowercase two-letter country code.
• City page (example: Katowice, Poland) — /locations/{country-code}/{city-slug}: upcoming and recently finished events in the city, nearby events and a local FAQ.
• Esports events by game: directory of game pages.
• Game page (example: Counter-Strike 2) — /games/{game}: in-person events for one title worldwide.
• Esports conferences — /conferences/{country-code}/{city-slug}: hand-curated calendar of industry conferences, summits and expos.
• Watch parties — /watch-parties/{tournament}: public viewings of major tournaments at bars, cinemas and arenas.
• Esports recap: build a shareable recap of the events you attended.
• Twitch extension: show the events you attend or plan to attend on a Twitch channel.

Filters (game, time window, search, page number) are views of the same page: the canonical URL drops all query parameters, so link the clean URL. There are no separate pages for individual events — each event is a row on the city, country and game pages it belongs to.

• Ticket sales or player registration — listings link out to the organiser or ticket seller where a link is known.
• Match results, brackets, standings, player statistics or viewership figures (results for finished events are on the roadmap).
• Online-only tournaments.
• Betting odds or betting offers.

• Write the name as Visit Esports — two words, both capitalised. The website is visitesports.com; the X account is @visitesports.
• Visit Esports lists events; it does not organise them. A listing is not an endorsement by, or of, the organiser.

If you reference or quote our data, we'd appreciate it if you:

• Link the specific page the information came from, with a normal (followable) link, so readers can check it themselves.
• Name the source as "Visit Esports (visitesports.com)".
• Include the date window, because schedules change — for example "upcoming events in Katowice as of 27 October 2026".
• Link the most specific page: a city page rather than the country page, and a country or game page rather than the homepage. Those pages stay at the same address over time, so the link keeps working.
• For dates, venues and tickets, also point readers to the organiser's official page.

Example: "According to Visit Esports (visitesports.com), these are the upcoming esports events in Katowice as of 27 October 2026: … — visitesports.com/locations/pl/katowice".

• Get an event listed: use the "Submit Event" form, available on the homepage, on location and game pages, and in the site footer. The team reviews every submission before publishing it.
• Correct a listing: use the "Contact Us" form in the site footer and include the page URL and the correct details.
• Host a watch party: suggest your venue on the watch party submission page.
