The article examines the evolution and challenges of legal regulation of esports in Russia and Uzbekistan. Although esports has been officially recognized as a sport in Russia since 2016, the regulatory framework remains fragmented and largely limited to by-laws that do not adequately reflect the digital specifics of the industry. In Uzbekistan, a unique regulatory model is emerging, combining elements of traditional sports law with modern approaches to digital technologies. The study highlights the need for comprehensive legislation that ensures a balance between industry development and state oversight, as well as the protection of the interests of participants and spectators.
