The revised football gaming championship replaces club-specific qualifiers with 14 open events from 9–28 November 2026. Each winner can choose an available First League club to represent.
Bulgaria’s revamped eLeague football gaming championship will let each open qualifier winner choose which available First League club to represent. Previously, qualifiers were tied to specific clubs.
The Bulgarian Football Union and esports.bg organize the championship, with Red Bull Bulgaria as its main partner. Inside World Football said the championship has been renamed eLeague as part of the changes.
The organizers aim to bring players, supporters and clubs closer together, while giving clubs a way to reach younger gaming audiences.
After each qualifier, its winner will tell the organizers which club they want to represent, provided that club is still available. The qualifiers use EA SPORTS FC 27 on PlayStation 5 in Ultimate Team mode. Players can register and find the full rules and calendar at www.eleague.bg.
The 14 winners will enter a regular season in February–March 2027. Each player will face every other player once over 13 rounds, with the top eight advancing to the playoffs.
The organizers have set a €6,000 (about $6,700) prize pool. They say the champion will also earn places in the eChampions League and Esports World Cup.
The quarterfinals are scheduled for 16 April, the semifinals for 17 April and the final for 18 April 2027. The final is planned as an in-person LAN event before a live audience.
