Study: Esports gaining on baseball and hockey among millennial men
LOS ANGELES — Male millennials who say they regularly watch esports have caught up to regular watchers of hockey, and are approaching baseball numbers, according to a new study from market research firm Newzoo.
That’s just one of many insights from the study, which surveyed some 60,000 people from 27 countries over the course of three years.

Newzoo asked invite-only respondents about which sports they “regularly” watched. Among men aged 21-35, 22% said they were regular esports watchers, just slightly below baseball and better than ice hockey, which fell in the high teens.
