The finals of the FC Mobile tournament, which will take place in Shanghai from January 10th to 11th, aims to bridge the gap between professional football and China’s gaming culture.

The tournament actually commenced with online qualifiers throughout December 2025, with the top 128 players competing across three rounds to determine the 20 players who will represent each Premier League club during the Grand Finals.

20 players are paired with an influencer from China’s sporting and gaming industries and will compete across a range of matches to determine the eventual champion.
