The Premier League has announced that it will be partnering with FIFA 19 developer EA Sports on the ePremier League, a gaming tournament that will pit fans of all 20 top division clubs against each other.

It is the Premier League’s first official foray into esports, a growing industry set to be worth $905 million this year, with the tournament open to any FIFA 19 player on PS4 or Xbox One over the age of 16.

The ePremier League starts in January 2019, with players able to register in December for their chosen club and take part in online qualification on FIFA 19.

The best 16 players for each team will qualify for playoffs at a venue of their club’s choosing, before the best two players for each club move on to the grand finals at the Gfinity esports Arena in London at the end of March. The finals will be broadcast on Sky Sports and Premier League social channels.
