Honor of Kings (王者荣耀) is China’s most popular mobile game with over 200 million monthly active players, and the King Pro League (KPL) is its premier esports competition. KPL teams produce seasonal jerseys that, in total volume, represent one of the largest esports merchandise markets in the world — though most of this market is invisible to Western audiences.

The KPL Jersey Market
KPL jerseys operate within China’s unique e-commerce ecosystem:
- Taobao and JD.com as primary distribution channels
- City-based team identities — like Chinese basketball (CBA), KPL teams represent specific cities
- Seasonal refreshes every competitive split
- In-game team skins supplementing physical merchandise
- Esports World Cup presence — KPL teams like Wolves compete at the EWC in Riyadh
Corporate Backing
Many KPL teams are backed by China’s tech giants:
- TT Gaming — ByteDance (TikTok’s parent company)
- KuaiShow Gaming — Kuaishou (China’s #2 short-video platform)
- EDG — Bilibili-affiliated
- Weibo Gaming — Weibo (social media)
This corporate backing means KPL jerseys benefit from professional production quality and wide distribution, even if they rarely reach international markets.
Honor of Kings Goes Global
With the international version Arena of Valor and the growing EWC presence, Honor of Kings esports is slowly reaching beyond China. As this global expansion continues, expect KPL team jerseys to become available through international retailers like ShopNings.
