FIFA competitive gaming commissioner, Brent Koning shared in a statement: "The EA Sports FIFA 20 Global Series is the most inclusive esports competition on the planet. Anyone can become a superstar, and the opportunity to do so has accelerated with more than 20 official league partners now in the mix."

"This connection to global sport drives viewer intrigue, and that positions us well for surpassing last year’s 800 million minutes of EA Sports FIFA 19 Global Series content watched," he added. 

Bundesliga, ePremier League, UEFA Champions League, Major League Soccer and La Liga have all been confirmed for the season. With more leagues to be announced in the coming weeks, the Global Series could actually pull off the lofty viewership numbers EA has set for itself.
