eFootball PES 2020: The Honest Update

The description of eFootball PES 2020: The Honest Update

If you are looking for eFootball PES 2020 on Android, here is the honest update: the old PES 2020 mobile app no longer connects. Konami merged it into eFootball, the same app under the same package name, and the servers behind the 2020 version were retired. That is why players who install the old APK hit an "internet error" on launch. The "crack" and "unlimited GP" versions do not apply either, because the game is free to play and its coins live on Konami's servers, not in a file you can edit.

This page explains what happened, why the old build fails, and where to get the current, working eFootball. The clean files here are scanned for malware and installed on a real Android device by our editors, a check we have run since 2018.

What happened to PES 2020 mobile?

Konami rebranded the mobile Pro Evolution Soccer line as eFootball. It is one live app now, updated each season with fresh squads and rosters, and it keeps the same package name that the old PES app used. So the app that was "PES 2020" on your phone has since updated itself into eFootball. The 2020 season client is not a separate working game anymore, just an old snapshot that the servers no longer recognize.

Why the old APK shows an "internet error"

PES 2020 mobile was built around online features: myClub squads, live matches and matchday events all needed Konami's servers. Those 2020 servers are closed. When the legacy APK tries to sign in, there is nothing to connect to, so it stops at a network error. Player reviews say the same thing in their own words, from "internet hatası" on login to "it will not open." No mod fixes this, because the problem is a dead server, not the file.

Get the current eFootball instead

The working version is the up-to-date eFootball. It is free, official, and gets the seasonal updates that keep online play alive. If you want to actually kick a ball on Android today, grab the current build from our eFootball page rather than the 2020 snapshot. Same series, same controls you know, but a client that still connects.

Why "crack" and "unlimited GP" do not apply

Two things make those promises empty. First, eFootball is free to play, so there is no paid game to crack. Second, GP and myClub coins are stored on Konami's servers, tied to your account, so a modded client cannot add them. When the server keeps the real balance, "unlimited GP" never shows up in your account, and signing in with a modified build risks a ban. There is no working shortcut here, only the legit route of earning GP through matches and events.

How to install the legacy build (archive only)

1. The old PES 2020 package was an APK of about 95 MB plus an OBB data file of about 1.5 GB.
2. You would install the APK, allow installation from unknown sources, then place the OBB in Android/obb/<package.name>/ with a file manager.
3. Even done correctly, online modes will not connect, since the 2020 servers are gone. Treat it as an archive, not a playable version.

Tips for eFootball myClub

• Learn advanced controls. Switching from basic to advanced passing gives you real control over through balls and finesse shots.
• Build team chemistry. Players from the same club or nation link better, so a themed squad beats a pile of high-rated randoms.
• Farm GP through events. Play the rotating event matches for GP and player contracts instead of spending on packs.
• Train your best players. Skill trainers raise your key starters, which does more than constantly rolling new ones.
