The Esports Awards 2026 will be held in Miami on November 17, 2026, and public voting is live on the official Esports Awards website with the poll closing on November 10, 2026. Fans are able to vote once per day across the event’s multiple award categories.
The ceremony brings together nominees across players, teams, organizations, creators, games and personalities from the esports industry. The Miami date falls two days before the launch of GTA 6, whose world setting is also based on Miami, and organisers have invited fans to cast ballots for their preferred nominees. Voting is conducted through the Esports Awards’ online platform rather than by mail or at the venue.
The event’s categories listed by organisers include Esports Game of the Year Nominees, Esports Personality of the Year and Esports Mobile Game of the Year. Additional categories named on the shortlist are Esports Content Creator of the Year, Esports Content Group of the Year, Esports Commercial Partner of the Year and Esports Supporting Service of the Year.
Further categories encompass Esports Tournament Organizer of the Year, Esports Breakthrough Player of the Year and Esports Team of the Year. The nominations also feature Esports Controller Player of the Year, Esports PC Player of the Year and Esports Organization of the Year.
Broadcast and production roles are represented with Esports Coach of the Year, Esports Colour Caster of the Year, Esports Play-by-Play Caster of the Year, Esports Host of the Year and Esports Analyst of the Year appearing on the category list. Organisers have published the full nomination lists on the official site for review before voting closes.
Nominees for game-based awards include Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, VALORANT, Fortnite, PUBG Mobile, Dota 2 and Rocket League, among others. The organisers describe these titles as part of the roster of popular contenders across competitive and mobile platforms.
Named organisations and creators appearing among the contenders include Team Vitality and Team Falcons, and creators such as Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed and Jynxzi. These entries are singled out in the published nominee lists available on the Esports Awards voting page.
The voting procedure on the official site requires users to click the Vote Now button on the home page, select the categories they wish to vote in, cast their choices and complete the required personal details. Voters may submit one entry per day for each eligible category up to the November 10 deadline.
