The League Awards 2025 was held on November 28 in the VIP Lounge of Munich's SAP Garden, inviting and celebrating the best League of Legends players, content creators, and teams. At just over 73,000 peak concurrent viewers, it finished among the five most popular award-related broadcasts this year.
Founded and hosted by two prominent esports personalities — Eefje "Sjokz" Depoortere and Marc "Caedrel" Lamont — this ceremony honors the League of Legends community. This was the second edition of the League Awards, with the inaugural one held in December 2024.
Among the big winners was Christian "IWDominate" Rivera, who claimed this year's Esports Content Creator award. The recently retired Maurits "Chronicler" Jan Meeusen clinched the Broadcast Talent of the Year trophy, while the most coveted prize, Player of the Year, was won by Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon.
Chovy had an amazing run with Gen.G in 2025, winning two global titles (2025 Mid-Season Invitational and Esports World Cup 2025) and the LCK 2025 Season, and was widely considered by many to be the best player in the world this year. He and his team might have failed to lift the Summoner's Cup at the LoL Worlds, but their consistency and dominance were undoubtedly award-winning.

The event was primarily livestreamed on Caedrel's official Twitch channel, although a lot of streamers also ensured to co-cast the awards function live. This played a major role in this coveted ceremony generating much higher interest than it did at the League Awards 2024.
Viewership statistics from the League Awards 2025
This event peaked at 73,158 viewers at the end, when Caedrel shaved his head live on stage and on stream. The British Twitch star did so after losing his wager to T1's Choi "Doran" Hyeon-jun, saying he would go bald if the South Korean powerhouse won the 2025 LoL World Championship to complete the historic three-peat.
The 73,000 Peak Viewers (PV) that the League Awards 2025 recorded were around 29.5% higher than what we saw last year. It also accumulated around 10,000 more Hours Watched (HW) than the 2024 iteration, despite running for just 10 minutes longer.
Apart from fans' eagerness to see Caedrel lose his head of hair, the fact that 16 more channels covered the League Awards this year helped reach a broader audience base. Among co-streamers, the most successful one was Swedish League of Legends player Isak "NattyNattLoL" Elgh.
When looking at all the awards-related livestreams held in 2025, the League Awards 2025 finished as the fifth most popular. Way ahead in first place is the Ballon d’Or 2025 show, which reached a whopping 7.1 million PV as it was led by massive coverage on YouTube.
Even as the year winds up, the awards season is not yet over, with other prominent ceremonies like The Streamer Awards 2025 and The Game Awards 2025. Streams Charts will provide readers with viewership updates on these coveted events in its news section.
