eFootball League (formerly known as the PES League) is the official global eFootball championship organized by Konami, the publisher of the series. Established in France in the early 2000s, the competition later expanded internationally and has been directly managed by Konami since 2010. Historically, it served as the official 1v1 esports world championship for the Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) franchise.
In 2020, the competition structure was reorganized as part of the newly established eFootball Esports League. The system was divided into two components:
- eFootball.Open (formerly PES League) – an open tournament for amateur players.
- eFootball.Pro – a league for contracted professional players representing major European football clubs.
Since 2023, eFootball.Pro has been discontinued. The 2023 eFootball.Open World Finals became the first unified global finals since 2019, open to both amateur and professional players. The event was held for the first time in Tokyo, Japan, at Konami’s renovated headquarters and its dedicated esports arena.
