On the heels of a record $133 million in revenue last year, global esports company Blast has opened a new headquarters in New York City and announced plans to further expand “beyond traditional esports into broader opportunities across gaming, creators, sports, live experiences and digital-first fandom.”
Since its founding in Denmark in 2016, Blast has grown its business to include partnerships with major publishers including Valve, Epic Games, Riot Games, Ubisoft and Supercell. The company has offices in Copenhagen, London, Berlin, Malta, Mumbai and New York City.
Over the last 16 months, Blast has hosted seven tier-one esports events in the U.S. across Austin, Fort Worth, Boston, Raleigh, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City, which have generated “substantial economic impact” for host destinations, including more than $102 million from the 2025 BLAST.tv Austin Major, per the company.
The Blast’s U.S. business expansion will be led by Blast chief business officer Leo Matlock, who recently relocated to New York, alongside Blast’s SVP of brand partnerships Steve Rossi. In total, the U.S. team has now grown to eight full-time employees.
Located at 45 Main Street in Brooklyn, the Blast’s new U.S. headquarters is based within a shared 55,000-square-foot office space. The company says this new hub will serve as Blast’s “central base” for partnerships, live events and commercial growth across North America.
