Female streamers gain space and boost leagues and championships in the sports scene.
In recent years, female streamers have gained increasing relevance in the sports scene, helping to transform the way tournaments are organized and how the sector is perceived. They are promoting greater diversity and inclusion in a space that has historically been dominated by men. With more than 35 million daily visitors, Twitch’s audience is primarily made up of Gen Z and millennials, with around 70% of viewers between the ages of 18 and 34. Female creators are using the platform to amplify their voices and challenge the norms of the competitive landscape.
Streamers like Paula Nobre, Sofia España and Yayahuz exemplify how women are redefining the competitive sports landscape. Paula Nobre, member of FURIA, is one of the main Valorant players on the national scene. Focused on the competitive side, Paula formed her own team and actively participates in tournaments, reinforcing the female presence in one of the most popular games today.

Investments in the esports sector have grown significantly, with recent data showing the robust market ready for continued expansion. According to Newzoo, the global esports market is expected to reach US$1.8 billion in revenue by 2024, with sponsorships and media rights being the main drivers of this growth. This influx of capital is creating new opportunities for female gamers and streamers, who now have more chances to compete in tournaments and be recognized for their talent.
An important milestone in this evolution is the creation of the Queens League, a new version of the famous Kings League, which offers high visibility for players to compete in sports tournaments. This new space not only expands women’s participation, but also attracts more attention from the public and investors, signaling a growing movement towards equity in esports.
With leagues like the Queens League and the continued rise of female streamers, the esports scene is becoming increasingly inclusive, providing more opportunities for women to shine in both competition and broadcast. Twitch has played a crucial role in this transformation, providing a platform where diverse voices can be heard and celebrated.
