Esports Invasion: Overwatch League Finds Distribution on Disney XD, ESPN

It’s further evidence of the gap between esports and the mainstream coming to a close. The demand for esports content is only rising, with 10% of US broadband households watching it, according to recent Parks Associates research.

“While viewership of many traditional sports is waning, esports is well positioned to capture the attention of a generation that grew up playing video games,” Hunter Sappington, Park Associates research analyst, said. And if they’re not watching, chances are they’re playing. Parks said 62% of US broadband households play video games at least one hour per week.
