The World Cup offered some welcome respite at the end of a frenetic Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season, but managers must now start preparations for the 2026–27 campaign. FPL has officially returned ahead of the upcoming term and players can now select their squads ahead of Gameweek 1, which kicks off on Friday, Aug. 21. However, before drafting up a roster, managers must first choose their witty, pun-based team name—an essential tradition since the game’s inception. There are an abundance of legendary team names which have been recycled time and time again over the years, but we at Sports Illustrated have compiled a fresh list of options for each of the Premier League’s current teams. We apologize in advance for some of the toe-curling word play you’re about to lay eyes on.
