The ePremier League 2021/2022 Grand Finals take place this weekend (26 - 27th March), with some of the world’s best EA SPORTS™ FIFA 22 players competing to win the title for their club.

Now into its fourth year, this season’s tournament sees the prize pool increased to £100,000, with three seats on offer for top-ranking players at the EA SPORTS™ FIFA 22 Global Series Playoffs.

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 who are representing the Clarets are Brad Colston (XBOX) and Josh Blunden (PlayStation), who both came out top in our Club Playoffs, which was hosted by Burnley College back in February.

Get to know Brad and Josh ahead of this weekend's competition.

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.

Saturday's itinerary (Sunday TBC after Saturday's games are played):

Round 1: Burnley v Everton

XBOX 12:15
PlayStation 12:45

Round 3: Liverpool v Burnley

XBOX 16:45
PlayStation 17:15

Round 4: Burnley v Manchester City

Round 5: Burnley v Leicester City

This year’s competition is the first ePremier League to be played on next-generation consoles, Playstation ®5 and Xbox Series X|S.

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, as well as on our social channels.
