PES 2020 real team names lists - Real Madrid, Liverpool, and other teams' official names
PES 2020 real team names are useful if you're not onboard with the idea of downloading yourself a pre-built PES option patch - or worse, the option doesn't exist because you're playing on Xbox One.
If that's the case, and you still want to play PES 2020 as though it's a fully licensed game, you need to spend time in the game's editor menus and change things for yourself.
The process can be somewhat time consuming - with players claiming that changing every piece of data, including creating customised kits and renaming stadia, leagues, cups and so on, can take as much as 40 hours.
If you're only interested in the team names, however - so that you're not playing with Madrid Chamartin B in a local derby against Madrid Rosas RB - then you can achieve the desired results fairly quickly and painlessly.
Thankfully players themselves don't need changing - and if you want to know who is top this year, our PES 2020 player ratings page can help.
