The ePremier League (ePL) is now in its sixth season and has attracted some of the world’s best EA SPORTS FC players. Each Premier League club is represented by two finalists, one on each console (Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5). This includes some of the best EA SPORTS FC Pro players in the world, such as 2019/20 winner Tom Leese, representing Tottenham Hotspur, and inaugural Champion Donovan ‘Tekkz’ Hunt, who is playing on behalf of Manchester City for the first time.

In terms of the tournament itself, Manchester City are represented by Tekkz and Bonanno, while Brighton are represented by Marc and Jayden.
