NEW YORK and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Major League Soccer’s esports league, eMLS, and Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), today revealed the full details for the 2021 eMLS Cup presented by Coca-Cola. On March 20-21, the top EA SPORTS™ FIFA players in North America will compete for a league record $40,000 eMLS prize pool. Throughout this week, fans will also have an opportunity to purchase a new limited-edition eMLS jersey, earn prizes through giveaways, participate in social campaigns, and compete in an amateur competition.
In celebration of eMLS Cup, eMLS debuted a limited-edition eMLS Cup jersey, developed in collaboration with adidas, on Monday. Net proceeds from jersey sales will benefit Special Olympics.
Fans and players alike will also have an opportunity to take to the virtual pitch in the EA SPORTS FIFA 21 PS4™ Tournament: eMLS Fan Challenge, where the top 64 EA SPORTS FIFA players will each walk away with prizing, and the grand prize winner will receive a PlayStation®5 console. In anticipation of eMLS Cup and MLS season return, eMLS and Coca-Cola are also teaming up for the ‘Sip & Scan’ sweepstakes, where fans can grab a Coke and scan the can for a chance to win MLS gear, Coca-Cola prizes, eMLS Cup jerseys, and more.
The 2021 eMLS Cup will be played on PlayStation 4 across two days and will feature 12 players competing in a two-day, single-elimination bracket.
Eleven of those players qualified for spots in the first two events of the eMLS season, eMLS League Series 1 and 2 presented by Coca-Cola. The final spot will be determined in a “Last Chance Qualifier” on March 16-17 amongst 16 players who did not qualify. In addition to a cash prize and a trophy, the top three eMLS Cup competitors will qualify for the EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series North America Playoffs.
“The inaugural UEFA eEURO was an undoubted success, with over 15 million people having watched competition footage across UEFA’s platforms. We have seen a massive growth in the popularity of efootball over the past few years and eEURO 2021 will continue to give us the opportunity to connect with new and existing fans of national team football,” said UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein.
