Esports is set to grow rapidly in the
UK over the coming years, according to sports analyst and former Olympian
Phelan Hill. While the sport has become a global phenomenon in recent years, it
has yet to truly pierce the mainstream consciousness in the UK.
The audience growth in the UK has been
partly helped by events such as the 2019 FIFA eWorld Cup event being held in
London, as well as investment in teams such as Excel opening up more lucrative
opportunities for players and companies. The average age of an esports fan is
26 and compared to traditional sports, esports has the youngest proportion of
fans under the age of 35, with 85% falling into this bracket.
