DreamHack Melbourne 2022 kicks off this Friday, September 2, as Australia’s esports capital gears up for its first major event in three years. Be sure to follow along with all the action this weekend with the full schedule below.
DreamHack Melbourne is the big return for Australian esports.
Three years on since the last Melbourne Esports Open and two canceled events later, it’s third time lucky as the country’s esports capital lights up again for a three-day weekend jam packed with gaming action.
No matter whether you’re a casual gamer or an esports diehard, there’s something for everyone at DreamHack Melbourne. If you fall into both categories that’s even better — although you’ll be hard pressed trying to split yourself between the multiple venues at Melbourne Olympic Park.
Before you rock up each day, check out the full schedule below for all things DreamHack Melbourne so you don’t miss the big ticket items (all times in AEST).
