Dreamhack Stockholm

DreamHack Stockholm is far more than a traditional trade fair – it stands at the very heart of Sweden’s gaming and eSports culture. Once a year, Stockholmsmässan transforms into a vibrant hub for gamers, developers, content creators, and digital visionaries from around the world. Combining elements of a convention, festival, and LAN party, DreamHack offers a one-of-a-kind experience where the digital world is not just showcased but actively brought to life.

Organized by the ESL FACEIT Group – one of the world’s leading companies in eSports and digital entertainment – DreamHack Stockholm is part of an international event network spanning multiple countries. Yet Stockholm holds a special place within this circuit: Sweden is considered a pioneer in the gaming industry, and its capital city, with its dynamic tech scene, is the ideal location for innovation, creativity, and community.

At the core of the event is gaming culture. Whether through interactive exhibitions, the BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) area, or engaging formats like cosplay and live music shows – here, gaming becomes an experience. International eSports tournaments in titles such as Overwatch 2 bring world-class excitement, while indie studios are given a platform in the “Indie Zone” to showcase their latest games and connect directly with an enthusiastic and discerning audience.

Another key focus is the content creator scene: meet & greets, live stage sessions, and the Community Campground foster direct interaction between fans and digital influencers. The program is further enhanced by a large expo area featuring the latest trends in gaming hardware, software, streaming technology, programming, and design – along with special zones such as the Lego Builder Zone or the popular DreamHack Wheel offering exciting prizes.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of industries – from game development, tech, and IT to media, communications, and consumer electronics. The audience is just as diverse: DreamHack attracts professional eSports athletes, developers, tech enthusiasts, content creators, cosplayers, and a passionate gaming community – including families eager to explore the world of digital entertainment.

By merging professional eSports, community engagement, technological innovation, and playful diversity, DreamHack Stockholm has become a staple in the European event calendar. Stockholmsmässan, as Sweden’s most modern exhibition center, offers not only excellent infrastructure and accessibility – whether by car or public transport – but also an inspiring setting just minutes from the vibrant city of Stockholm.

The Dreamhack in Stockholm took place from Friday, 28. November to Sunday, 30. November 2025.
