What to Expect at the ePremier League?
The ePremier League Group Stage will run from February 28th to March 1st, 2026, where clubs will face off in a 1v1 team-based format. The results of the Group Stage will determine the seedings of the final bracket.
The competition then moves on to the Knockouts on March 28th, and the Finals the following day. The weekend features an updated bracket format, where clubs compete in elimination rounds until one team is left standing, crowning them the new ePremier League 2025/2026 champions.
Manchester City has been the reigning champions in the past two seasons, previously won by Tekkz and Bonanno. However, the 2025/2026 season will see the champions face off as rivals in opposing teams.
Other notable players will also compete in the upcoming tournament, including Gorilla, who has become a household name in the professional FIFA scene since his 2016 run.
New clubs are featured this year, with Leeds United, Sunderland, and Burnley competing due to their promotion to the Premier League last season. In particular, Sunderland makes its first appearance in the ePremier League.
