ESPN announced the EXP branding in early June, revealing plans to include additional games in the future and feature various formats, including professional, pro-am, and collegiate competitions. The events are streamed live via digital platforms, including the ESPN app, and will also be featured in tape-delayed highlights shows via ESPN and ABC’s linear networks.
May’s ESPN Collegiate Esports Championship, which did not initially feature the EXP branding, has been retroactively added to the program. ASUS Republic of Gamers also provided hardware for that event.
