Leeds United are back in the ePremier League - and this year it’s a big one.

The Whites will be represented by Donovan 'Tekkz' Hunt and Jacob 'NiKSNEB' Benskin, two of the very best EA SPORTS FC players on the planet. With £100,000 prize money and FC Pro World Championship qualification on the line, the stakes are higher than ever.

Here’s everything you need to know to follow the tournament from the first kickoff to the final whistle.


THE FORMAT

The 2025/26 ePremier League season ends with two weekends of live, in-person competition on PlayStation 5, featuring 40 players representing all 20 Premier League clubs.

Week 1 - Group Stage (21-22 February)

  • Clubs are seeded using the FC Pro Global Rankings
  • Each club competes inside its group
  • Every result matters - group performance directly determines knockout seeding
  • A hot start gives a major advantage later on

This is the stage where Leeds fans should pay closest attention. Early momentum can decide whether the Whites get a favourable route to the trophy.

Final Weekend - Knockouts (28–29 March)

The second weekend switches to a full elimination bracket.

  • Clubs face each other head-to-head
  • Lose and you’re out
  • Win and you move closer to becoming ePremier League Champions
  • One team survives. That’s it.

HOW TO WATCH

Leeds United fans will be able to follow Tekkz and NiKSNEB's ePremier League journey, every step of the way, from the Group Stage and Finals, via:

  • Sky Sports
  • Premier League YouTube channel
  • EA SPORTS FC Twitch channel

THE COMPETITION

The ePremier League isn’t a small invitational - it’s effectively the Premier League season in esports form. All 20 clubs are represented, meaning Leeds must outplay 19 other teams across group and knockout stages.

The finalists are:

PREVIOUS WINNERS

Leeds already have history in this competition, having won the competition in 2022/23 with Stokes and Ollelito, the last time a pairing that didn't include Tekkz won.

  1. 2018/19: Tekkz (Liverpool)
  2. 2019/20: Tom Leese (Watford)
  3. 2020/21: Shellzz (Man City)
  4. 2021/22: Damie & Goal Poacher (Norwich)
  5. 2022/23: Stokes & Ollelito (Leeds United)
  6. 2023/24: Tekkz & Bonanno (Man City)
  7. 2024/25: Tekkz & Bonanno (Man City)

So yes - the Whites have lifted it before, and now Tekkz arrives at Elland Road colours with serious pedigree. Pairing him with NiKSNEB gives us arguably one of the strongest duos in the tournament.
