ePremier League 2026/27 Opens With £150,000
Registration for the 2026/27 ePremier League opened at 15:00 GMT on Monday 9 November 2026, and any UK resident aged 16 or over can sign up at e.premierleague.com to represent the Premier League club they support. It is the ninth season of a tournament that sits inside the official EA SPORTS FC esports circuit, and five clubs have lifted the trophy since 2018: Watford (2019/20), Norwich City (2021/22), Liverpool, Leeds United and Manchester City.
Coventry City and Hull City make their debut this season, while Ipswich Town returns. The season opens with an online qualification phase of up to three two-day qualifiers across November and December, and the top eight on each club's leaderboard advance to the Club Playoffs in January.
Clubs can also fast-track one or two of their own players straight into the Group Stages by signing them, with Playoff winners at those clubs collecting prizes from the club itself. The live events then move to London, with Group Stages on 6-7 March 2027, Knockouts on 3 April 2027 and the Finals on 4 April 2027 in front of a live audience.
Prize money rises to £150,000 from £100,000 last season, and places at the eChampions League and the season-ending FC Pro World Championship are also on offer. Premier League Chief Commercial Officer Will Brass said the season gives players of all abilities a route from their sofa to the main stage, while Monica Dinsmore, Head of Esports at EA, said the tournament represents open competition that gives players of every level a way onto the stage.
