FPL deadlines

Every gameweek deadline for the season, in your own time zone— teams lock 90 minutes before each gameweek’s first kickoff, and these are derived from the real fixture schedule, so a postponed match moves its deadline here too.

Add to your calendar (.ics)

Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook all import it.
Every deadline arrives with a two-hour reminder.

Common questions

When is the FPL deadline each gameweek?
Teams lock 90 minutes before the first match of the gameweek. Most gameweeks that lands on Saturday morning UTC (Saturday afternoon in India, Friday evening in the US), but midweek rounds and rearranged fixtures move it — which is why this page derives every deadline from the actual fixture schedule rather than a fixed calendar.
Are these times in my time zone?
Yes — the table shows every deadline in your device’s own time zone. The calendar file carries the times in UTC and your calendar app converts them, so they stay correct wherever you travel.
Can I get the deadlines in my calendar?
Yes. Download the free .ics file and open it — Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook all import it directly. Every gameweek arrives as an event with a two-hour reminder before it locks.
What happens when a fixture is postponed?
A gameweek’s deadline follows its first match. When a fixture moves, the deadline here moves with it on the next daily sync — check back near a rearranged round, or keep the calendar file fresh by re-downloading it.

Beat the deadline with a better team: the FPL rankings refresh daily, and the Gameweek Ladder scores a drafted squad on real matches all season — entries lock at these same deadlines.
