The first eSports Olympics has been postponed again and is tentatively scheduled for 2027.

E-sports has unlimited potential. After years of transformation, its competitive elements have finally gained a foothold in the sports world. All the events it has organized have attracted much more attention than traditional sports. The time has come to 2025, and the plan to enter the Olympics is about to be launched. Recently, we have finally received a specific timetable. The President of the International Olympic Committee officially announced that the first Olympic e-sports Games will be held in 2027 and hosted by Saudi Arabia.

Although e-sports has also launched its own Esport World Cup in the past two years, fans who are content with their own business have requested that it be included as an Olympic event. They never expected that it would be directly carved out into an exclusive Olympic Games. Although the time has been settled, many details have not yet been processed. This entry into the Olympics is also a postponement, as the original plan was for 2025.

As the two sides have not yet planned the specific venue, event time, eligibility, and competition items, based on the preparation cycle of the Olympic Games, if the contract is signed in 2024, it would be too hasty to hold the event in 2025, so it has to be postponed for another year. The Saudi Esports Cup had many broadcasting incidents before, and it is reasonable for the IOC to spend more time to observe. After all, it took many years for the concept of esports to be accepted. Esports fans may as well wait another year. What game do you most want to be included as a competition item?
