eFootball is a 2021 association football video game developed, published, and updated annually by Konami. It is the revamped successor to the popular Pro Evolution Soccer franchise, known as Winning Eleven in Japan.
Unlike its predecessor, it was designed as a free-to-play digital video game that includes microtransactions and optional additional content, with the goal of offering more features and online and offline game modes such as Master League, as well as enabling cross-platform play. This eliminates the need for annual physical releases and instead provides periodic, free content updates that introduce new seasons. The first season of the video game, titled eFootball 2022, was released on September 30, 2021. It was followed by eFootball 2023 on August 25, 2022; eFootball 2024 on September 7, 2023; eFootball 2025 on September 12, 2024; and eFootball 2026 on August 14, 2025. This video game is part of the International Esports Federation's World Championship, the Northern and Eastern Europe League (NEEC), and the FIFAe World Cup.
It was released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on September 30, 2021, and for Android and iOS on June 2, 2022. The Chinese version of eFootball was published by NetEase for Android and iOS in 2022. A version of eFootball for Nintendo Switch 2, called eFootball Kick Off!, will be published in summer 2026.
