FIFA eWorld Cup Grand Final 2019: Tournament schedule, location, live stream and favourites
The next installment of EA SPORTS' new FIFA game may be due out in just under two months time, but there's still the small matter of confirming the FIFA eWorld Cup champion for FIFA 19, with the FIFA eWorld Cup Grand Final 2019 happening this weekend.
It's one of the biggest and best FIFA Esports tournaments in the world, with 32 of the very best players, from both Xbox and Playstation, going head-to-head to be crowned the ultimate FIFA 19 champion.
The tournament is being held in London in 2019, at The 02 from Friday August 2 until Sunday August 4, when the Grand Final will crown the overall champion.
English competitor F2Tekkz is the pre-tournament favourite for most people, having dominated over the last 12 months, but last year's champion Msdossary will be stern opposition, along with many others.
The groups, schedule, prize money and live stream details have all been confirmed ahead of the tournament.
Here is what you need to know about the 2019 FIFA eWorld Cup Grand Final.
