Can’t wait for the new FPL season to arrive? Maybe you’re wondering when does FPL launch next season? In this article, we do a deep dive into the FPL start dates and try to predict when FPL 2025-26 will go live.
Last season, FPL went live 30 days before the Premier League season started. But that’s not enough data for us! So we’ve gone and gathered every Fantasy Premier League launch date from the last 12 seasons.
When did FPL go live in previous seasons?
The launch date of Fantasy Premier League differs almost every single year. There is no fixed date for when it goes live, but using the data above, we can extract some information and potential clues:
- On average, FPL launches 33.58 days before the Premier League season starts.
- The last 3 years average at 33 days before.
- The most common launch date is July 5th.
When does the Premier League 2025-26 start?
The Premier League 2025/26 season will begin on Saturday, 15th August 2025 with Liverpool vs Bournemouth, and conclude nine months later on May 24th 2026.
When will FPL go live for 2025-26?
Fantasy Premier League 2025/26 will go live on July 16th 2025, based on the historical average of FPL going live 33.58 days before the Premier League season starts.
However, the exact FPL start date is unconfirmed and can only be speculated. Our prediction would be that FPL 2025-26 will go live in the week between July 14th 2025, and July 18th 2025.
It’s also worth keeping an eye out for Price Reveals on the Official FPL Twitter. Over the last three years, the FPL game has been launched within a week of the first reveal.
