Nigeria’s biggest esports spectacle, Battlefield Naija, is making a powerful comeback this November with even higher stakes, bigger sponsors, and bolder ambitions. The second edition of the event, Battlefield Naija 2025, will take place on November 9, 2025, at 12A Oba Akinjobi Way, GRA, Ikeja, promising an electrifying celebration of gaming, technology, and youth culture.
Poised to cement its reputation as West Africa’s premier esports and gaming festival, Battlefield Naija 2025 will see elite and emerging gamers battle across four major titles, EA FC 26, PUBG Mobile (PUBGM), Call of Duty Mobile (CODM), and the iconic Street Fighter 6 for a share of ₦1 million in cash and prizes.
What started as an ambitious experiment in 2024 has now become the heartbeat of Nigeria’s competitive gaming culture. This year’s edition deepens its focus on mobile esports, a category where Nigerian players have consistently proven their prowess on the global stage. The event will feature intense double-elimination tournaments, live commentary, and immersive tech showcases designed to blend entertainment with innovation.
“Following the incredible energy and success of our inaugural event last year, we are thrilled to bring back an even bigger and better Battlefield Naija,” said Sayo Owolabi, Convener of Battlefield Naija. “We have scaled up our prize pool to 1,000,000 Naira, expanded our talent base, and fine-tuned every detail to deliver the most high-octane, memorable gaming experience of the year. The unwavering support from our sponsors – Infinix, LG, Monster Energy, YEAH Food, Lohli Africa, Shamash Luxury, and Hela Bet continues to drive this dream forward.”
The 2025 edition is not just a competition; it’s a full-scale festival of digital lifestyle where gaming meets culture, creativity, and technology. Attendees can look forward to exclusive meet-and-greets with some of Nigeria’s most influential gaming content creators and streamers, community play zones featuring free-play arenas, retro gaming booths, and cosplay competitions that celebrate tactical and futuristic combat culture. The experience will also include technology demos from Infinix and LG, showcasing next-generation gaming innovations and high-performance mobile devices built to power the future of esports.
By bridging entertainment, technology, and lifestyle, Battlefield Naija continues to position Lagos as a hub of Africa’s fast-growing esports economy, creating opportunities for gamers, creators, and brands to connect in one high-energy ecosystem.
