Sports that will be featured in the 2025 eSports World Cup
eWC 2025 will feature more than 500 professional teams, representing more than 100 countries and territories, competing in 25 disciplines, including MOBA, FPS, Battle Royale, strategy and chess.
Chess is the subject of attention at this event.
Notably, this year's tournament marks the first time chess has been included in the official competition system of eSports, both at the global level and at the eSports World Cup.
It is a cross between traditional sports and eSports, highlighting the evolution of this age-old intellectual game in a digital competitive environment. Chess is no longer limited to physical board tournaments. Thanks to the rapid growth of online platforms such as Chess.com, Lichess and the global ELO rating system, the game has quickly adapted and attracted an international player community.
