DreamHack is a major highlight on the esports calendar, serving as a hub for competitive gaming rather than just being a showcase for one game. With a lineup of major events for various titles, DreamHack has solidified its position as a key player in the esports scene. However, recent reports suggest that changes may be on the horizon, with hints of DreamHack departing from Jönköping in the near future.
The DreamHack tournament series already features popular games like Overwatch, CS:GO, Dota, LoL, and more, with these titles making regular appearances in the event schedule held in different locations. Jönköping has been a longstanding venue for DreamHack, but it seems that this tradition may soon come to an end.

For over twenty years, Jönköping has been the host city for DreamHack. However, there are signs of a possible change on the horizon. Reports indicate that DreamHack might be moving away from Jönköping, with the potential of DreamHack Summer even taking a hiatus for a year.
DreamHack Departure from Jönköping and Summer Event Cancellation
The next major event on the DreamHack calendar is Winter, but this year it will be relocating. After considerable time in Jönköping, it appears that DreamHack will indeed be leaving the city, with Winter shifting to Stockholm as reported by Dust2. Additionally, it seems that DreamHack Summer will be skipping a year.
This possible shift signifies significant alterations in the DreamHack lineup. The decision to depart from Jönköping seems to have already been made, with reports emerging from an email sent to local hotels. This email specifically mentions DreamHack’s departure from Jönköping and the cancellation of DreamHack Summer.
While it seems that DreamHack Winter will find a new home in another city, the unexpected break for DreamHack Summer sparks curiosity. Hopefully, in the coming years, DreamHack will secure a new venue for its summer events.
As the tournament series continues to grow and expand globally, there are numerous potential locations that could host the summer event. However, fans may feel a sense of nostalgia bidding farewell to the longstanding association between DreamHack and Jönköping.
