FPL Deadline FAQ

What time is the FPL deadline?

FPL deadlines land 90 minutes before the first kickoff of each gameweek. The full 26/27 schedule unlocks when fixtures are released.

How often is the FPL deadline?

Once per gameweek across the 38 Premier League gameweeks. Most weeks the deadline is Friday 19:00 or Saturday 11:00 BST — exact time depends on the first match kickoff.

What happens if I miss the FPL deadline?

Your team locks at the previous gameweek’s state. Any pending transfers, captain changes, chip plays and bench order are ignored for that gameweek — including the auto-substitute order.

Can the FPL deadline change?

Yes — if a match is rescheduled before the gameweek opens, FPL shifts the deadline to 90 minutes before the new first kickoff. Onside’s deadline updates within minutes of the Premier League announcement.

Who should I captain before the next deadline?

Once the 26/27 season opens, our AI captain shortlist updates continuously. Open /captain/1 from GW1 onwards.
