The International 2025: Broadcast RFP & Licenses
Valve has announced the guidelines to apply for The International 2025 Broadcast RFP and Licenses. This time the game publisher behind one of the biggest esports titles isn’t playing around, and is effectively communicating with the community months in advance – a stark contrast to the “Valve Time” people are used to.
@dota2tiBroadcasting companies and tournament organizers interested in producing and distributing regional language broadcasts of Dota 2’s The International 2025 can begin to apply now. Proposals for the Live Event Broadcast Production of The International in Russian, Chinese and Spanish language are also being accepted.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) details can be found here.
Meanwhile, those seeking additional licenses and feeds will also have to go through different channels. They are as follows:
- Production companies seeking a commercial license to produce a regional language broadcast of The International 2025 without additional access to the event can apply here.
- Streaming platforms interested in restreaming the official broadcast feeds to their platform can apply here.
There’s also good news for the Dota 2 fans.
Aspiring streamers, including the popular Dota 2 streamers, can also restream The International 2025 from DOTATV following the community stream policy. The only caveat is that the streams/casts should strictly be non-commercial in nature – meaning no ads or promotions of any kind.
For any additional query, interested parties can reach out to Valve through [email protected].
