Fantasy Premier League is coming for 2026/27, and managers will feel every game this season thanks to real-time updates to leagues and bonus points.
An Erling Haaland goal could immediately take you to the top of your mini-league in the live standings. But the loss of a clean sheet in the 88th minute might cause another swing that puts your rival back at the summit.
For those who keep a close eye on their world ranking, your position in the global standings – and in all other leagues – will also be continuously updated during matches.
The same applies to head-to-head duels between Fantasy managers, and FPL cup ties.
You’ll be able to follow every twist and turn with a live matchday experience in Fantasy that’s better than ever.

A big change to #FPL matchdays 🙌

This season, projected bonus points will be added to your players’ scores after 20 minutes of each match – a time when players start to become separated in the Bonus Points System - and those bonus points will change across the rest of the contest.
A 50th-minute Bruno Fernandes assist could give you an immediate six-point boost, with the three points for the assist plus three projected bonus points, but a goal for another player could then reduce Fernandes’s share of the bonus.
All scores will remain subject to later review, with final scores only being confirmed when the Gameweek locks - now at a new time of 09:00 UK time on the day after the final match of the Gameweek.
