Telegraph Fantasy Football

One of Britain's oldest fantasy football games, now free to play.

Telegraph Fantasy Football is the Daily Telegraph's long-running Premier League fantasy game, with roots dating back to the 1993/94 season. Players build a squad of 11 Premier League players within a £50m budget, scoring points based on real-life performances across the Premier League, FA Cup, and (new for 2025/26) the League Cup. Up to five teams can be registered free of charge, with a seasonal pool of transfers to manage, private and public mini-leagues to compete in, and cash prizes up for grabs. An optional "Assistant Manager" subscription unlocks additional stats, insights, and exclusive features for more serious managers.
