Round 3 of Fantasy FIFA World Cup 2026 is done and dusted but managers don’t have a lot of time to get their teams, transfers and boosters sorted for the Round of 32.
In fact, with no rest days until Wednesday 8 July (day 28 of the tournament!), this is the latest in a string of back-to-back Rounds.
WHEN IS THE ROUND OF 32 DEADLINE FOR FANTASY FIFA WORLD CUP?
The first match of the Round of 32 is South Africa v Canada, which kicks off at 20:00 BST on Sunday 28 June.
And that’s exactly when Fantasy managers have to have their teams locked in by.
As was the case in Rounds 1-3, it means we can see the teamsheets from Round of 32 curtain-raiser – if so desired – before confirming our transfers, activating our boosters, and so on.
Remember, while the Round of 32 deadline of 20:00 on Sunday 28 June is the cut-off point for transfers and chips, you can still make manual substitutions and captaincy changes after that time.
