Sony Starting PlayStation Plus eSports League
A French PlayStation website has appeared for PlayStation Plus League – an eSports platform for PS4 players with online tournaments, championships, and other competitions.
The site lists tournaments for games like Battlefield Hardline, Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, FIFA 16, Driveclub, Project Cars, Mortal Kombat X, Rocket League, Ultra Street Fighter IV, and a handful of others.
It appears the league will feature teams of various sizes (including solo play), cash prizes, season-to-season competitions, one-off competitions, championships, skill-based divisions, online/offline play, and other structural nuances.
PlayStation Plus League requires subscription to the PS+ service. It's unknown at this time if PlayStation Plus League will be brought over to North America.

We'll hopefully learn more at Sony's Paris Games Week presentation today. Watch it here.

Our Take
A good move to both provide an esports experience as well as give something extra to PS+ subscribers.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
