Features of the FC 25: eLigue 1 2025

Eleven teams compete in the Bo3 format for six single-elimination playoff qualifying berths through the Single Round-Robin Group Stage of the competition. Each of the 11 teams will face off against one another once during the 11-round Group Stage. If a team wins the Bo3 in two games (2-0), they’ll receive three points; if they need a third game to win (2-1), they’ll receive two points; if they lose, they won’t receive any points. Every game must have a winner; draws aren’t permitted.

The two teams that place first and second in the Group Stage will automatically advance to the Semifinals. In a best-of-five series, the remaining four teams will compete in the Quarterfinals, starting on April 22.

The two best clubs will compete for the title in a best-of-seven series, two tickets to the eChampions League 2025, one ticket to the FC Pro 25 World Championship belonging to the winner only, and the majority of the competition prize pool in the FC 25: eLigue 1 2025 Finals, which is scheduled for April 28.
