In June 2025, a month from now, Vancouver will become the epicenter of competitive gaming as a major eSports event takes over the Pacific Coliseum. Co-hosted by the British Columbia Esports Association (BCEA) and The Gaming Stadium, this high-energy gathering will bring together gamers, fans, and industry leaders for an unforgettable celebration of digital competition and culture.

The event promises a packed lineup of activities, including high-stakes tournaments across multiple titles, interactive exhibitor booths, a cosplay contest, and meet-and-greet opportunities with top streamers and pro players. With esports growing at a record pace, this event is more than entertainment — it’s a showcase of talent, innovation, and community in the gaming world.

But this isn’t just another event — it’s a milestone for Vancouver’s esports scene, and the venue couldn’t be more iconic. The Pacific Coliseum, located at the PNE grounds in East Vancouver, has a long and storied history as a hub for major sporting and cultural events. Since opening its doors in 1968, the Coliseum has hosted NHL games as the former home of the Vancouver Canucks, and has welcomed international music legends like Elvis Presley, David Bowie, and The Rolling Stones.

Over the years, the Coliseum has evolved with the times. It served as a key venue during the 2010 Winter Olympics and has supported everything from lacrosse championships to professional wrestling. With its capacity of over 16,000, it remains one of Vancouver’s most versatile and iconic arenas — now adding esports to its legacy.

By bringing this premier gaming event to the Coliseum, organizers are bridging past and future — blending Vancouver’s rich entertainment heritage with the cutting edge of digital competition. Whether you’re a lifelong gamer or a curious newcomer, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
