The electronic games industry is the third most profitable in the world. A new concept of sport has emerged in recent years, being commonly called e-Sports. The article seeks to present e-Sport as a current sports practice. This theoretical research is structured by presenting the section: “electronic games and e-Sports”. In physical education, e-Sports is neglected because it does not cover high energy expenditure. When strengthening e-Sport, it is becoming a phenomenon that approaches conventional sports. Today, e-Sport is the object of academic research that seeks to verify its spectacularization process, its characteristics and its history, mixing with the history of the sport itself.
