DreamLeague Season 25 is just around the corner, featuring 16 of the best Dota 2 teams from across the globe competing for a massive $1,000,000 prize pool. This marks the 25th season of DreamLeague and is part of the third season of the ESL Pro Tour, following ESL One Bangkok 2024 and BLAST Slam II. The tournament will take place online, with matches hosted on the Europe West server, providing fans with thrilling Dota 2 action from the comfort of their homes.

The event will begin on February 16, 2025, and run until March 2, 2025, featuring a round-robin group stage format. The tournament starts with two groups of eight teams each, where each group will compete in a single round-robin format. All series will consist of two games, with the top four teams from each group advancing to Group Stage 2, while the remaining teams will be eliminated.

In the second group stage (February 21–27), the competition intensifies as the teams compete in a single round-robin group of eight teams, with all matches played in a best-of-three (Bo3) format. The top two teams from this stage will advance to the upper bracket of the playoffs, while the 3rd and 4th place teams will move to the lower bracket. The playoffs, taking place from March 1–2, will be in a double-elimination format, with all matches (except for the grand final) played in Bo3, and the grand final set as a best-of-five (Bo5).
