Fantasy Premier League (FPL) will soon launch for 2026/27 – and so, inevitably, thoughts turn to FPL team names!
Even more important than your first draft, of course, is what you call your team.
An in-joke with mini-league mates? A play on words as old as the Premier League itself? A pop culture reference? The choice is yours – so long as you keep it relatively clean and no longer than 20 characters…
If you need a little help coming up with a snappy moniker, we at Fantasy Football Scout are ready to step in.
From atrocious puns even your dad wouldn’t bother with to some surprisingly good suggestions, here are 150 team names to consider for FPL 2026/27.
