eFootball is a classic title that has been featured in the National eSports Championship since its first event.
This seventh tournament will, like the previous one held in Saga Prefecture, be competed on two platforms: mobile and console.
The prefectural qualifiers, which serve as the qualifying rounds, will select one representative for each prefecture from the winners of in-game events held across a total of four rounds for both mobile and console platforms.
These representatives will then advance to the Prefectural Tournament, which will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
The seven teams that win from the first through the fourth rounds and the representative from the host prefecture, Shiga, will proceed to the offline fifth round, which will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2025 (the Shiga representative will join in the fifth round).
Additionally, console versions now support cross-platform play as of this year.
Entries are possible from PlayStation, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, and a wider range of users are expected to participate than ever before.
The deadline for entry is Sunday, October 5, 2025, so if you wish to participate, please register soon.
