Premier League

With the Premier League suspended indefinitely and all the pubs closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic, what’s a fan to do? To help fill your quarantined hours, the Premier League is holding a FIFA 20 tournament that will feature a representative from each of its 20 teams. Putting their FIFA skills to the test will be 18 current Premier League players and a pair of super fans representing their favorite clubs. The ePL tournament started Tuesday, April 21 and runs through Saturday, April 25. Four matches are scheduled every weekday leading up to the semifinals and finals on Saturday.

A prize fund of yet-to-be-determined size from the #PlayersTogether initiative will be donated to help the UK’s National Health Service.
