Latest News
Just below we'll keep you updated on all the latest news, leaks, and information regarding eFootball's Master League mode:
2 February 2024 - New Updates, But Still No Master League Info
The latest 3.3.0 update has dropped, but apart from the Korean league and a few changes to some animation files there's no Master League news to glean.
Furthermore, leaker @Durandil67 also managed to find details about the next update (v3.4.0) which again doesn't appear to mention anything related to master league.
The wait continues.
27 October 2023 - A new update approaches, just don't expect anything big
Well-known eFootball leaker @Durandil67 doesn't think we'll see anything sizeable from the next update in November.
Next update on November 2 will be 3.2.0 and hopefully the launch of MyLeague mode and special event for AFC Asian Cup according to the game files.
But certainly nothing else, don't expect any surprises from Konami which has still not communicated about future & deleted roadmap. https://t.co/BreZJkG313

There's a new update dropping this week along with Season 2, but well-known leaker Durandil has suggested that players shouldn't expect "new stadiums, new licenses, Master League, Edit mode or anything that Konami has been planning for a long time now."
We guess the long wait continues...
Slight gameplay fixes as always but don't expect new stadiums, new licenses, Master League, Edit mode or anything that Konami has been planning for a long time now.
My only hope is a new roadmap announcement (which will surely fail again). #efootball2024pic.twitter.com/51xRn48HRQ

What we thinking? Could eFootball 24 finally add Master League with that extra 30GB space?
8 June 2023 - New items found in update 2.6.0
Some new leaks for Master League items have been discovered, although we still don't have any further news on the mode to share.

Fans of eFootball have eagerly awaited the inclusion of Master League, a highly anticipated feature that has been absent from Konami's free-to-play offering. While it was confirmed that Master League would be introduced in 2023, the lack of a specific release date has caused frustration among players. Fortunately, the developer has provided a roadmap that offers some insight into the arrival of Master League in eFootball, although there is both good and bad news.
According to the eFootball roadmap, Master League is indeed slated to arrive in eFootball 'sometime' in 2023 (Update: It's now 2024 and there's still nothing), which is a welcome update considering the previous lack of substantiated information. That being said, it's been exacerbated further by the lack of information following the release of eFootball 2024 in August. Equally, details such as the pricing for the Master League DLC have not yet been confirmed either.
eFootball Master League Gameplay Details
If you're not familiar with Master League, it can be likened to FIFA's Career Mode. This game mode offers players the opportunity to take control of their favorite club and lead them to success, granting full control over tactics, player transfers, and more.
Although we haven't seen the exact details of how Master League will be implemented in eFootball, we can expect it to be similar to what we experienced in previous PES versions before the transition to the free-to-play model.
In an interesting development, Konami has confirmed that Master League will be introduced as paid DLC, which diverges from the game's free-to-play structure. While we're glad to see the return of Master League, we are curious about the pricing strategy that will be employed.
As of now, no specific price has been disclosed, but we will keep this page updated with the latest information as soon as it becomes available.
All eFootball Master League Leaks So Far
At present, the leaks regarding eFootball are quite limited. The only available information comes from Twitter user Durandil PES, who uncovered certain lines of code that offer early insights into potential features of the game.
The discovered code reveals glimpses of the anticipated cut-scenes that may be included in Master League, featuring various staff members. Cut scenes have always been a notable aspect of Master League, and it appears increasingly probable that they will make a comeback in the upcoming eFootball 2024 version. It's just not clear when.
