Been missing all the roaring cheers, football tricks and of course, goals of FIFA this year? Well, PlayStation Plus is setting up the next best thing, and six of the biggest KSA football influencers are ready to duke it out, virturally, of course.
To recreate the postponed Saudi Professional League (SPL) fixtures, PlayStation Plus is launching a FIFA20 Live League KSA, in collaboration with ITP Live. Oh, and there’s a big prize up for grabs for those who tune in.
Kicking off on Friday May 1 at 10pm until 11.30pm GST, expect SPL footballers to go head-to-head (virtually on PS4) live on Instagram Live channels over the next two weekends.
For the first match, tune in to Saudi Professional League footballer Hatan Bahri @bahbri27 as Al Hilal, going against Fahad @altimsah playing Al Fateh.
Fans can also expect a matchup between Al Nassr and Abha Club, played by Majed @abualhiishfs and Ahmed Show @ahmedowsari, respectively. And finally, Hussain Yousuf Anwar @h.messi.10 will play as Al Wehda against Abdallah Jameel @abdoh4magic.
Even better, those who missed out on the live streams or are looking for a second round can tune in on Friday May 8 at 10pm until 11.30pm, as the influencers will be competing in away matches for a another chance to win their games.
As for the big prize? Fans have the chance to win a SPL jersey signed by the entire team of their choice. Not too shabby.
All gamers have to do is share their FIFA Ultimate Team gameplay on Instagram and tag @easportsfifa, @playstation_arabia for the chance to win.
Don’t have PlayStation Plus? For those first-timers signing up, expect a 14-day free trial, which offers up online multiplayer content and a few free games. Sounds like a deal to us.

Game on.
Fri May 1 and Fri May 8, 10pm-11.30pm (GST).
