The Premier League 2026/27 fixtures have been released, and we've already updated our fixture ticker tool for the entire season.

You can play around with the tool FREE here - https://fpl.page/fixture-ticker


Best Fixture Runs

These are the best opening fixtures sorted by ATTACK 🎯

Sorted by opening 5 gameweeks

These are the best opening fixtures sorted by DEFENCE 🛡️

Sorted by opening 5 gameweeks

The teams with the worst fixtures worth ignoring are: Bournemouth, Sunderland, Hull, Fulham, Coventry, Ipswich. There aren't too many FPL relevant assets from those sides anyway so that's great news from an FPL perspective.

You can edit fixture difficulty ratings with Premium if you disagree with official ratings.


Best FPL Premiums

  • Man City and Man Utd both have outstanding opening fixtures, which makes a Haaland x Bruno captaincy rotation a really strong strategy, though how much will the two cost combined? 🧐

  • Haaland could be priced in around 15m again with Bruno set for a significant rise to 12m potentially. 💰

  • That will mean well over a quarter of the budget goes on two premiums. 📉

  • Arsenal have COV (H) for the opening game of the season on the Friday night, with a good run beyond that which makes triple Arsenal very appealing (Saka, Gabriel, Rice/Raya). 🔴

  • Of course World Cup progression could have a big impact on GW1 availability, the two teams that reach the final in particular would likely see their players miss GW1 as the players will be afforded additional rest.


Stand out Triple Captain weeks: 🤔

  • 🔹 Bruno: IPS (H), COV (H) 🏟️

  • 📅 GW2, GW14 🗓️

  • 🔹 Haaland: COV (H), IPS (H), HUL (H) 🏟️

  • 📅 GW3, GW7, GW16 🗓️

  • If a well rested Palmer starts the season strong then he has HUL (H) in GW4! 🎯

  • Hull were promoted to the Premier League finishing 6th in the Championship, 22 points behind Coventry and could be a team to target as much as possible.


The FPL Double Gameweek and Blank Gameweek schedule for 2026/26 is as follows:

  • Blank Gameweek 30 (small blank due to EFL Cup final)
  • Double Gameweek 32
  • Blank Gameweek 33 (due to FA Cup semi-finals)
  • Double Gameweek 35 and/or 36
