FIFA 20 ePremier League Invitational: Schedule, Format, Players & How-To Watch

With both the regular Premier League football season on hiatus and the FIFA 20 version also taking a long break due to COVID-19, the powers that be have put together the ePremier League Invitational - to keep us entertained and raise money for a great cause.

The tournament will see players from each of the 20 Premier League clubs compete in a knockout format to crown the ePremier League Invitational champion - hey it might not be football - but it’s the closest we are going to get.

Players will be playing from home, and so far some of the Premier League’s biggest stars have confirmed their attendance including Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha, Man City’s Raheem Sterling and Liverpool FC’s Trent Alexander-Arnold. The prize fund is set to be donated to the #PlayersTogether initiative, which goes towards funding the National Health Service.

It will all kick-off with a draw on Monday 20th April with matches starting at 12 pm GMT on Tuesday. The tournament will run throughout the week with the semi-finals and final being televised live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League at 3 pm on Saturday 25 April.
