The Premier League and Electronic Arts (EA) have revealed exciting details for the new season of the ePremier League, now entering its eighth year. This season brings a brand-new format, bigger prizes, and new ways for players to reach the top level of EA Sports FC esports.
The 2025–26 ePremier League will be part of the EA Sports FC Pro circuit, featuring a £100,000 prize pool and spots at the 2026 FC Pro World Championship for the best players.
Open Qualifiers and Playoffs
Players will begin their journey in three online Open Qualifiers:
November 26–27, 2025
December 3–4, 2025
December 10–11, 2025
These events give players a chance to earn points on the Club Leaderboards and move on to the next stage. Those who succeed will compete in the Playoffs, taking place from January 14–22, 2026. The Playoffs will use a Double-Elimination Bracket, meaning players must lose twice before being knocked out.
Group and Knockout Stages
A new feature this season allows clubs to directly sign EA FC 26 players to the Group Stage through a process called Fast Tracking. How each club performs in the Group Stage will determine its ranking for the Knockout Stage.
The Group Stage is scheduled for February 28 to March 1, 2026, where clubs will face off in one-on-one matches. After that, the Knockouts will take place on March 28, leading to the Grand Finals on March 29, 2026.
Will Brass, Chief Commercial Officer of the Premier League, shared his excitement about the upcoming season. He said, “Over the last seven seasons, we’ve seen amazing storylines, with the best players in the world taking on new and rising talent. This season promises even more excitement.”
