The current eFootball 2027 update is v6.1.0, according to the version page on Konami’s official eFootball site (checked 17:27 UTC on 13 November 2026). It follows the new-season update v6.0.0 from 12 August 2026. The classic Master League is not part of either update: Konami’s patch notes for both versions do not mention it, and Konami has only offered a short, time-limited take on it so far.

What is new in eFootball 2027 (v6.0.0)?
Konami’s notes for the new season update, posted 12 August 2026, are mostly about tactics and team management. The main changes in its own list:
| Change | What Konami says |
|---|---|
| Custom Tournament | New feature that lets users create tournaments and play them together |
| Fluid Formation | New option in Game Plan |
| Dynamic Volley | New command |
| Team Playstyle “Overload” | New Team Playstyle |
| Playing Styles | Split into Attacking and Defensive Playing Styles; each player has one, the other, or both, with new styles focused on defence |
| Game Plan tweaks | “Prioritize Base Team” added to Auto-Pick Players; “Attacking” and “Deep Line” removed from Individual Instructions; substitutes now show in an opponent’s Game Plan |
| Position training | Position Tokens can no longer teach a position a card already lists as its Registered Position; position filters also include players with high proficiency |
| Storage | Backup Player Slots raised to 900, manager slots to 100 |
| Daily Game | New mini-games |
| Age checks | A parent or guardian may need to consent through k-ID in certain countries or regions |
The same update refreshed the team structures of the English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Belgian, Scottish, Swiss, Turkish, Danish, Thai and Japanese leagues, added the Moroccan League, and updated licences, kits, boots, balls and stadium graphics. In-game assets carry over when you first play after updating.
TheXboxHub’s coverage of the launch adds the New Season Campaign (13 August to 3 September), a PlatinumGames collaboration on the daily mini-games and Daily Super Play, and says Custom Tournament supports up to eight players. Treat those details as that outlet’s reporting rather than Konami’s patch notes.

eFootball v6.1.0: Showdown event and Select Tokens
Konami’s v6.1.0 information page covers the autumn update. Its headline items:
- Showdown: a knockout-style PvP event where your run ends as soon as you lose, and rewards grow the further you progress. Konami says the first day of the event was scheduled for 16 October.
- Select Skill Tokens: Advanced Skill Tokens are removed. Collect 100 Select Skill Tokens and you can pick a skill of your choice from those available in Skill Training. Konami’s page has a separate section on how existing Advanced Skill Tokens transfer.
- Select Position Tokens: collect 100 and choose a Position Proficiency from those available to the selected player.
- Presentation: new scenes and animations for free kicks, corners and substitutions, a Referee View camera angle, and a Player View at key moments such as before a set piece.
- Quality of life: progress notifications for some Objectives, and an “Order of Signing” sort option for managers in My Team.
- Data: team structures updated for the UNIFI LIGA SUPER, Moroccan League, AFC Champions League Elite and AFC Champions League Two.
The page lists v6.1.0 for PlayStation 5 and 4, Xbox Series X|S and One, Xbox on PC, Steam, iOS and Android. It does not print a release date, so check the in-game news for when it reached your platform. If a newer patch has appeared since the check time above, Konami’s version page is the place it will show first.
Is there a Master League in eFootball 2027?
Not as a permanent mode. Master League was the main career mode of Konami’s older Pro Evolution Soccer games, and players have asked for it back since the series became eFootball. What exists so far:
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Master League Sprint | Limited-time in-game campaign launched 9 April 2026 to mark 1 billion downloads; ended 16 April, per VGC |
| What it offered | Club-manager style play: signings, line-ups and training schedules, plus returning fictional players, per VGC |
| Full Master League | No release date or version announced in Konami’s v6.0.0 or v6.1.0 notes |
That is the honest state of play. VGC described Master League Sprint as an experience “similar to” the old mode rather than the mode itself, and neither Konami version page we read lists a returning Master League. Some fan sites speculate that a full version arrives with this season; we found no Konami statement saying so, so treat it as unconfirmed. If you want a career-style experience today, the most relevant official modes are Custom Tournament for friends and the team-building side of the game (managers, Game Plan and Playing Styles).
VGC also reported in April that Konami’s separate offline spin-off, eFootball Kick-Off!, was set for release that summer and includes a World Tour mode with club creation. We did not check its current release status for this guide.
How to get ready for the update
- Update the game on your platform and let the first launch finish importing data; Konami says in-game assets carry over.
- Use Fluid Formation and the new Playing Styles in Game Plan: with Attacking and Defensive styles now separate, check each key player’s styles before you pick a formation.
- Spend position training carefully: a Position Token can’t teach a position the card already lists, and from v6.1.0 the Select Position Token lets you choose from the options available to that player after 100 collected.
- Check how Advanced Skill Tokens transfer in the section Konami links from its v6.1.0 page before you rely on skill training.
- Try Custom Tournament with friends if you want league-style play without Master League.
If you prefer football management games
If it is the long-term club-building side you want, our Football Manager 27 new features guide and FM27 tactics cover a proper management sim, and FM27 Mobile on Netflix is the phone option. For another sports title, see NHL 27. Our older eFootball 2024 Mobile guide is from before the current update, so some details have changed.
