The 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League season is underway, and while some managers are looking ahead to the next gameweek, others are wondering if they can change their team name.
When logging into FPL ahead of a new campaign, you are tasked with picking a team name before being able to select your 15-man squad.
Those who are eager to build their squads, but haven't yet thought of a team name, often select the default title -- 'X's (the manager's name) Team -- with an eye to choosing a more creative name before the season commences.
Alternatively, players name their team 'TBC' or 'Change Name' to remind them to alter their name before the season starts.
Frequently, however, managers forget to modify their team name, and we take a look at how you can change your name beyond the Gameweek 1 deadline.
