What is eMLS?

The eMLS is the e-League for Major League Soccer, North America’s major professional soccer league featuring the highest level of play in both the U.S. and Canada. The organization has partnered up with EA Sports, the developer and publisher of the annual FIFA franchise of video games, to create an esports league around high-level FIFA 22 competitive play. Players who participate in the eMLS will represent their favourite clubs in the EA Sports FIFA 22 Global Series Playoffs later this year, with the ultimate goal of reaching the Fifa eWorld Cup 2024.

The eMLS was first announced and confirmed in February 2018, with MLS president Gary Stevenson citing competitive gaming as “a key component in our partnership with EA SPORTS to promote deeper engagement and connections between MLS supporters and the millions of FIFA players around the world.”

eMLS tournament schedule and structure

The eMLS splits their teams into two conferences; League Series One and League Series Two, then the top eight teams from each series play each other in a knockout format to determine the champions of each series.

Which Major League Soccer teams are supporting the eMLS?

Major League Soccer have confirmed all 29 clubs in the league will participate and support the upcoming eMLS.

The exact player selection process will be handled on a club-by-club basis, but it is known that each club can only select one professional FIFA player to represent them in the eMLS. Teams can have more than one player, but they can only ever send a single competitor to eMLS events.

As for benefits, prize-pools and salaries, Major League Soccer has yet to confirm these details. However, it is expected players signed to the eMLS will be paid-full time and provided housing, bonuses and other benefits as is standard in other North American esports leagues, such as NBA 2K League and Overwatch League.
