Esports News UK is the only publication solely dedicated to UK and Ireland esports across multiple games. The website was established in late 2015, and features the latest stories, match reports, interviews and videos covering the UK esports scene.
We provide daily updates for those interested in or involved in UK esports, predominantly focusing on League of Legends, but we also cover other games like Rocket League and Valorant, as well as streamer articles and news from the wider gaming community.

In April 2018, Esports News UK was ‘Highly Commended’ by the judges at the UK Blog Awards. In 2024, we received a small grant through Bournemouth University’s partnership with Santander to help us publish more articles from freelance writers.
