When does the Premier League 2026/27 season start?

The 2026/27 Premier League season kicks off on 21 August 2026, with Arsenal hosting Coventry City in the opening Matchweek 1 fixture, and runs to 30 May 2027 across 38 gameweeks.

Is FootballDream Premier League fantasy free to play?

Yes. Fantasy XI, Player Draft, Team Draft, Predictor and the Quiz are all completely free with no entry fee and no download — just sign up and play.

How does the Premier League Fantasy XI game work?

Pick any gameweek fixture, choose 11 players within a 100-credit budget (1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders, 3 midfielders and 1 forward, max 8 from one club), set a captain (2x points) and vice-captain (1.5x) and save before kickoff. Your team scores from real match stats.

How is the gameweek Player Draft different from Fantasy XI?

In the Player Draft you and your friends take turns picking players for a chosen gameweek, and no two managers can own the same player — so your squad is unique. Fantasy XI instead lets everyone pick from the full pool within a budget.

Which Premier League players can I compare?

FootballDream has profiles for all 20 clubs and 600+ 2026/27 players. Compare Erling Haaland vs Alexander Isak, Cole Palmer vs Bukayo Saka, or any two players head-to-head.
