The Premier League 2026/27 season is 38 gameweeks long — 380 matches in total, with all 20 clubs playing each other home and away. On FootballDream every fixture is tagged with its official matchweek, so the Draft and Predictor can group games by gameweek and you can build exactly the game you want without wading through hundreds of fixtures.
Key dates
- Friday 21 August 2026 — Gameweek 1 begins (Arsenal v Coventry City).
- 38 gameweeks in total, roughly one per weekend with occasional midweek rounds.
- Saturday 30 May 2027 — the final round of fixtures.
Gameweeks keep games tidy
Rather than dumping all 380 fixtures on you at once, FootballDream lets you pick a whole gameweek, several gameweeks, or individual matches when you set up a Player Draft — and choose exactly which fixtures to include in a Predictor game. Your player pool and scoring then cover precisely what you selected.
Planning your season
Because every fixture carries its matchweek, you can look ahead to spot double-gameweek-style congestion, tough runs for a club, and kind opening fixtures for promoted sides. Use that to time your Fantasy XI captaincy and your draft picks.
