ePremier League 2021/22 Grand Finals Set For This Weekend
- ePremier League 2021/22 Grand Finals take place on 26 and 27 March
- Cosmin Petrescu and Tom Painter will be representing the Foxes
- Finals to be televised live in the UK by Sky Sports Premier League
Now into its fourth year, Cosmin Petrescu and Tom Painter will be representing the Foxes, with this season’s tournament prize pool increased to £100,000. Three seats are on offer for top-ranking players at the EA SPORTS FIFA 22 Global Series Playoffs.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s ePremier League Grand Finals are the first featuring all finalists at a live venue since the 2018/19 season, with players competing at Here East in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Once again, the finals will be televised live in the UK by Sky Sports Premier League, with tournament action also shown across Premier League channels (YouTube, web, app, Twitter and Facebook) and on EA’s Twitch channel.
It will also be on the Sky Sports YouTube channel and made available to viewers around the world by the League’s international broadcast licensees.
All 20 Premier League clubs hosted thrilling Club Playoffs earlier in the year, with 40 players, two per club, progressing to the Grand Finals. This year’s finalists include the 2019/20 winner Thomas Leese, representing Tottenham Hotspur, and inaugural champion Donovan ‘Tekkz’ Hunt, who will be playing on behalf of Liverpool for the fourth time.
There is a change to the tournament format for this year’s Grand Finals. Players will work collaboratively as a team by taking part in a series of 1 vs 1 matches against pairings from other clubs, with one player competing per console, in a two-legged tie. Clubs are split into four groups for Saturday’s matches, with the top two in each group progressing to Sunday’s knockout stages. The two victorious players in the overall final will win the honour of ePremier League champion for their club.
This year’s competition is the first ePremier League to be played on next-generation consoles, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
