The league was organised by Pro Beach Soccer S.L.

As in previous seasons, the teams of the league continued to compete as one group across a number of rounds of fixtures to gain regular match points and additional bonus points for the overall league table. This was the last season of the EBSL to take place under this original format, as major changes were introduced the following season including amendments to the presentation of the stages of fixtures and introduction of the Superfinal. Austria did not return from last season and were replaced by the Netherlands who competed for the first time. The 2000 season has been noted as having one of the exciting endings to a season in the early years of the EBSL;https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/organisation/history/ https://web.archive.org/web/20170729230320/http://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/organisation/history/ dead July 29, 2017 Beach Soccer History fifa.com 14 April 2017 defending champions Spain and challengers and arch-rivals Portugal both went into the very final game of the season against each other knowing that a win for either would see their team claim the title. Ultimately, Spain successfully defended their title by winning the match by a single goal and claimed their second league title.

Four teams took part in each, three joining the host nation of that particular stage, with each individual team taking part in four of the six stages overall. Each stage was played as a small knock-out tournament, with semi finals, the final and a third place decider being the fixtures throughout all six rounds. Teams earned points for their successes per game and per stage which were then tallied up in the final league table. The team who topped the table after all six stages was crowned the winner of the league. Point distribution Points were allocated for the following achievements in each stage, contributing to the final points total in the league table.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/beachepbsl.html European Pro Beach Soccer League (EPBSL) RSSSF 4 May 2016 ScenarioPoints earnedWin in normal time3 pointsWin in overtime/penalties2 pointsStage winners3 bonus pointsStage runners-up2 bonus points Stages Stage 1 The first stage took place in Saint-Galmier, France.
