Sky To Broadcast ePremier League 2021/22 Grand Finals On UK TV

The FIFA ePremier League 2021/2022 grand finals will take place this month, and 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. Now in its fourth year, the tournament prize pool has increased to $132,000, with three seats on offer for top-ranking players at the FIFA 22 Global Series Playoffs.

“I’m excited to be competing again this year and I’m really looking forward to getting the chance to regain my ePremier league title,” said Thomas Leese, Former ePremier League Champion who recently joined Excel Esports. “The level of players has gone up a notch, so I know that it’s going to be a difficult task. It’s an honor to represent Tottenham and I’d love to win the ePremier League title for them.”

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 1v1 matches against pairings from other clubs, with one player competing per console, in a two-legged tie.

Clubs are split into four groups for the first day of 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 honor of ePremier League champion for their club. 

Broadcast coverage will be fronted by experienced sports and entertainment presenters Rachel Stringer, Kyle Walker, and Nicole Holliday, and commentators include experts Brandon Smith, Richard Buckley, Lisa Manley, George Overton, and Corey Dyer.
