The Premier League and Electronic Arts Inc. have announced the return of the ePremier League for the 2022/23 season. Returning for a fifth year, the competition gives Blues fans a chance to win silverware for the Chels.
Registration for this year’s tournament is open now and players of all abilities can compete for a place in the Club Playoffs by participating in a series of online open qualification tournaments, played using crossplay, throughout November.
This year’s Grand Final will take place on 25 and 26 March 2023 at Here East in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where the two best players from all 20 Premier League clubs will compete to find out which club will be named this season’s ePremier League champions.
Players will be competing for a prize pool of £100,000, with the four competitors from the top two clubs earning spots in the EA SPORTS FIFA 23 Global Series Playoffs and Play-Ins.
Continuing the success of the 2021/22 competition, the format of this season’s Grand Final will once again see each club’s representatives working collaboratively. Each club will be represented by two players who will take part in a series of one-v-one matches against pairings from other clubs, with one player competing per console.
The 2022/23 ePremier League will be played on next-generation consoles, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, with players able to sign up now
