Whether you’re climbing ranked, teaming up with your friends, or streaming to your community, one thing stays constant in the world of online gaming: your connection shapes the experience. In competitive play, stability and security are part of performance.

That’s a big reason ExpressVPN is expanding its presence as the go-to gaming VPN across esports, working alongside some of the biggest names in competitive gaming to underline its position as the #1 VPN for gamers as rated by CNET (among others).

Showing up where competitive gaming happens

ExpressVPN is teaming up with Riot Games and leading esports organisations, including G2 Esports and Method. These collaborations place ExpressVPN across major competitive circuits such as the League of Legends EMEA Championship and the Valorant Champions Tour Americas and Valorant Champions Tour EMEA.

These are the spaces where players compete at the highest level and where fans, creators, and communities come together around the games they follow. Being present here means supporting the environments where modern gaming culture lives.

Built for how people actually play

Gaming today is rarely just one thing at a time. Matches, voice chat, streaming, and community interaction all run side by side. A fast, stable connection helps keep everything running smoothly, whether you’re in a clutch round or broadcasting to viewers across the world.

ExpressVPN’s network spans 105 countries, spread across 170+ server locations worldwide, and is designed for low-latency performance and reliable cross-region play. Our Lightway protocol focuses on speed and stability, while Smart Location instantly finds the best server for low-ping gameplay. 

That means fewer interruptions and a connection that keeps pace with how you play.

Supporting teams, creators, and communities

Esports teams and creators operate in always-online environments. They compete, stream, and engage with global audiences every day. Connection quality and protection help keep those experiences consistent for both players and viewers.

By working directly with esports organisations, ExpressVPN becomes part of the infrastructure behind competitive play and content creation. From tournaments to livestreams, connection performance shapes how matches are played and how fans experience them.

A new space for gamers to connect

Beyond tournaments and streams, gaming is also about community. To support that, ExpressVPN is launching dedicated gaming channels designed to bring players and creators together—you can find us at @ExpressVPN_Gaming.

Rewards you won’t find anywhere else

To celebrate these partnerships, we’re inviting gamers to grab up to 83% off their subscription on select plans. Plus, depending on which community you follow, we’re unlocking some exclusive extras:
