November 11 2026

The British Esports Federation has appointed American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) as its Official Travel & Events Sponsor in a three-year agreement designed to develop travel and event services for the growing esports sector.

The partnership will see the organisations collaborate on tailored travel packages for players, teams and businesses, alongside potential academy programmes, new event concepts and esports travel solutions.

The agreement comes as British Esports expands its facilities and event operations, including the new 15,000 sq ft British Arena in Sunderland, which features a 200-seat theatre, broadcast studios and dedicated activation space.

With major esports events scheduled for 2027, including the Esports Nations Cup, International Defence Esports Games and DreamHack Birmingham, the partnership offers Amex GBT opportunities to develop services for an increasingly international esports community.

Gerardo Tejado Donde, Senior VP, Professional Services at Amex GBT, said: "Partnering with British Esports means we can work alongside the people who know esports best and use those insights to build bespoke travel and event experiences around how this community moves, from tournament weekends to industry gatherings."
