Guild Esports Up for Sale Again

Mergers and Acquisitions

15 August 2025 10:19

Guild Esports is reportedly on the market for acquisition, less than a year after being purchased by U.S.-based investment firm DCB Sports. According to a report from City AM, the organisation is seeking potential buyers with a sale deadline set for today, August 15th.

The move comes as Guild continues to struggle financially, despite maintaining active rosters across multiple titles, including EA Sports FC, Fortnite, Sim Racing, and PUBG Mobile.

Founded in 2018, Guild once garnered significant attention with backing from former football star David Beckham. Over the years, the organisation expanded its presence across several competitive games, including Apex Legends and VALORANT, and positioned itself as a leading name in UK esports.

In October 2024, DCB Sports LLC acquired Guild Esports in a deal worth £100,000 in cash and the assumption of over £2 million in liabilities. The acquisition was DCB’s first venture into esports. Despite this fresh injection of capital and leadership, Guild’s underlying financial instability appears to have persisted.

Guild’s financial woes can be traced back to its historic 2020 public listing on the London Stock Exchange—the first for any UK-based esports organisation. The IPO initially generated buzz, but over the next five years, Guild recorded consistent financial losses. Its stock price eventually plummeted by more than 90%, becoming a cautionary tale for esports companies eyeing public markets. More:Qloud Games Secures $5m
