📖 Overview

Esports Charts is one of the most referenced sources for esports tournament viewership data. It aggregates live-streaming metrics across major platforms and provides event pages with headline KPIs (Peak Viewers, Hours Watched, Average Viewers, Airtime), plus deeper breakdowns depending on the page and access level. For creators, brands, and media, it’s useful for benchmarking how “big” an esports event really is and for comparing tournaments, teams, or eras. The public layer is great for quick references; the deeper insights are typically locked behind paid access.

✨ Key Features

Event KPIs (Peak, Avg, Hours Watched)

Quickly capture headline metrics for any tracked tournament: Peak Viewers, Average Viewers, Hours Watched, and Airtime — perfect for news recaps and market comparisons.

Match & Stage Breakdown

Explore which series drove the biggest spikes, how viewership evolves by stage (Swiss, playoffs, finals), and where the tournament’s “attention peaks” happened.

Platform Coverage

Stats are aggregated across multiple streaming platforms, making it easier to discuss cross-platform reach instead of focusing on a single destination.

Language & Regional Trends

When available, see how different language communities contribute to the total audience and how regional broadcasts can change the tournament’s ceiling.

Comparisons and Historical Context

Use tournament pages to compare viewership across years (e.g., previous Majors) and to position an event within a broader esports timeline.

Analyst-Friendly Export / Reporting

Higher tiers typically provide deeper exports, filters, and reporting workflows for agencies, sponsors, and teams.

Search the tournament name and open the event statistics page to capture the headline KPIs.

4Add context that non-esports readers understand

Explain what peak concurrency means, why arenas matter, and how co-streaming/languages shape the result.
