This week, Konami dropped a ton of info about how they intend to run the PES 2020 eFootball.Open, including how they will structure the season. We now know that the competition will be headlined by two major tournaments: the eFootball.Pro and eFootball.Open. The league will kick-off this December, with player registrations for eFootball.Open set to begin in November. What's more, we have a roadmap of how the league will go until July 2020 for you here.

eFootball.Open is an esports tournament open to all players, competing exclusively in online 1v1 matches and replaces the previous PES LEAGUE competition.

Utilizing the new Matchday mode in eFootball PES 2020, players will select one club during the registration period that they will then compete with for the duration of the tournament. The clubs available to select will mirror those competing in the professional esports tournament, eFootball.Pro, to be announced soon.

To create football's most accessible esports competition, eFootball.Open will divide players into "Basic", "Intermediate" and "Expert" levels with matches taking place every two weeks. Players will be divided in categories depending on their rating in the Online Divisions.

Only players at the highest "Expert" level will have the opportunity to progress to Regional and then World Finals. These are the players who have the chance to earn prize money and the attention of the world's top football clubs as they scout for their future eFootball stars.

"Expert" players will be ranked alongside other players on their platform (PS4, Xbox One or PC) who selected the same club, with the top 50 for each progressing to the Online Finals.

Competition structure and key dates (subject to change) are as follows:

  1. Online Registration – Mid November 2019
  2. Online Qualifiers – December 2019 to February 2020
  3. Online Finals – February to March 2020
  4. Regional Finals – May 2020
  5. World Finals – July 2020
