Eleven of the world's best Esailors will compete for an Olympic Esports Series 2023 Trophy during a live final on Friday 23 June as part of Olympic Esports Week 2023 hosted by Singapore.

Eight places in the final were decided by a series of qualifying events beginning in March. The top ranked male and female player also secured a place in the final and will be joined by a wildcard entry from Singapore. Although already concluded, the top three Esailors from the Olympic Esports Series Offshore Category will also feature, with their trophy presentation taking place live on stage.

Competition in the Olympic Esports Series 2023 took place over two categories. A 30 day Offshore endurance race around the world and an Inshore competition featuring the Nacra 17, 49er, ILCA and J70 classes. Nearly 40,000 unique players took part in the Olympic Esports Series Sailing event qualifiers, competing in over 18,000 races.

The Olympic Esport Series 2023 Sailing Finals will be streamed live on the Olympic YouTube channel.
