Viewing figures are frequently used as a metric to determine whether an esports event is viewed as a success.
With a variety of event operators and publishers hosting events for their most popular titles, fans are tuning into the action to show support for their favourite teams.
As a busy July comes to a close, Esports Charts has revealed the five most-watched events from the past month.
The fifth most-watched event of July was the PUBG Mobile World Cup event that took place as part of the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. During the event’s 15th round, it hit a peak of 879,027 viewers.
League of Legends appeared in three of the five most-watched events. In fourth place, the MOBA title’s Esports World Cup event recorded 1.203m viewers during a match between Gen.G and All Gamers.
In third place, a LCK 2025 regular season match between T1 and Gen.G peaked at 1.213m viewers, with T1 bringing the South Korean side’s win streak to an end.
The second most-watched event of July was the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Mid-Season Cup, peaking at 3.067m viewers during the second day of the knockout stage.
Lastly, the most-watched esports event of July was the Grand Final of League of Legends’ Mid-Season Invitational. The Grand Final between Gen.G and T1 peaked at 3.4m viewers, topping the charts for the month.
Notably, July saw no Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) event feature in the top five. This is due to the majority of teams being on a player break following June’s BLAST.tv Austin Major.
