The ePremier League back and registrations are open!
10 November 2026
Premier League and UK esports fans, attention! That is because the ePremier League is very soon returning for a ninth season and registrations for the 2026-2027 have just opened. And that is not all, because with a total prize pool of no less than £ 150.000 there is more money than ever to be earned in the ePremier League. Any UK resident aged 16 or over can sign up to play for the club they support and compete with other players from all over the United Kingdom, so let’s take a quick look at the schedule for the upcoming ePremier League 2026 – 2027.
ePremier League 2026 – 2027
Registration for the ePremier League 2026 – 2027 officially opened on Monday, November 9th for any person of at least 16 years old in the UK. It is the ninth season of the hugely popular virtual Premier League competition and part of the official EA Sports FC esports circuit. The season kicks off with the traditional qualifiers and ends with the FC Pro World Championship, which features the very best EA Sports FC players in the world. In other words, any person who registers now might just make it all the way to the top of EA Sports FC 27 by April of next year.
Online qualifications
As usual, the ninth EA Sports FC season starts online with a regular qualification phase. There will be various two-day qualifying sessions throughout November and December, which will eventually lead to the Club Playoffs in January 2027. In order to make it to these Club Playoffs, a player needs to finish among the top eight of his club’s leaderboard.
What is particularly interesting at that point in the season, is that clubs have the opportunity still to signing new players and fast-tracking them into the Group Stages. This is on purpose, as it allows Premier League clubs to recruit and invest in esports talent, with plenty of similarities to how talent scouting and recruitment works in the world of real football.
Live events
Once the Club Playoffs in January are behind us, the wait is for March 6th and 7th, when the Group Stage of the ePremier League 2026 – 2027 will be played. They will represent the first of three live events to finish the upcoming season, followed by the Knockouts on April 3rd and the Finals on April 4th. All of these events will take place in front of live audiences in London and at the end, the 2026/2027 ePremier League champions will be crowned.
“We are excited to be launching the 2026/27 ePremier League season in conjunction with EA SPORTS”, says Will Brass, Chief Commercial Officer at the Premier League, about the upcoming start of the ePremier League 2026 – 2027, “Every season, players of all abilities get the chance to sign up from home to represent their Premier League club in a competitive esports tournament. I am looking forward to seeing the action unfold and finding out who will progress to the finals for the chance to win this season’s title in front of a live crowd.”
