What is FIFA 20?

FIFA 20 is a soccer simulation video game published by Electronic Arts as part of the FIFA series. It is the 27th installment in the FIFA series and is playable on PS4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch, however, USL eCup: FIFA 20 Edition will be played solely on PS4.

Tournament Format

USL eCup FIFA 20 Edition is a six-week tournament featuring 32-clubs from across USL Championship and USL League One. The 32 clubs will be randomly assigned to an international team and compete with that team throughout the duration of the tournament. 

The tournament starts with a play-in round that will see the 32 clubs square off to secure a place in one of three divisions -- Division A, Division B, Division C. Following the initial seeding, clubs will compete to earn promotion to a higher league or to remain in the top division. Promotion and relegation will happen on a weekly basis, with four teams moving in either direction at the end of each match week.

USL eCup FIFA 20 Edition matches will be one-versus-one. Matches will have six-minute halves and will be played until a winner is decided -- no draws. 

SCORING

Points will be earned each week by the clubs that claim victory in their respective divisions. The top eight teams in the opening week’s bracket will earn between 1,000 and 200 points based on their respective finishes. Following that, 1,000 points will to the weekly champion in Division A, 500 points to the winner of Division B and 250 points to the winner of Division C. Each of the top four teams in each Division will receive points toward their overall total, while teams that are relegated will be deducted points in the overall standings.
