Esports Broadcasting Jobs: Where the Work Is

On-air casting is the visible end of esports broadcasting jobs, but most of the paid work is behind the camera: broadcast and production managers, directors, replay and observer operators, broadcast technology operations, graphics and audio. Those roles sit with publishers running their own leagues, tournament operators, and the production companies they hire — and university esports programmes increasingly hire student commentators and broadcast talent too.
