Esports company BLAST reports record growth with US expansion

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Esports tournament operator BLAST has reported record growth for 2025, achieving over $133 million in revenue and nearly 40% year-over-year expansion. This success is attributed to a significant push into the United States, including the opening of a new headquarters in New York and hosting multiple events across the country. BLAST also saw substantial global viewership, with over 2 billion live views and 300 million hours watched, and is expanding beyond esports into collaborations like one with the Wimbledon tennis event.
