Change the name on the FPL website
- Sign in to the official Fantasy Premier League website.
- Open your Fantasy team.
- Open the menu or team-management area.
- Select Team Details, My Team details or the equivalent current settings option.
- Edit the Team Name field.
- Save or confirm the update.
- Return to your team page and verify the new name.
The official interface can change during updates. When the label is not visible, open the official Help section and select the FAQ titled How do I change my team name or the team I support?
Change the name in the Premier League app
- Open the official Premier League app.

- Look for team details, settings or profile editing.

When the option is unavailable in the app, use the mobile web version of Fantasy Premier League.
The website is the safest fallback because some features can launch on web before they appear in the app.
What does changing the name affect?
Changing the team name changes the label displayed in:
- Your team page
- Overall rank
- Private mini-leagues
- Public leagues

It does not normally change:
- Your points
- Your transfers
- Your squad
- Your chips
- Your league membership
- Your historical results
- Your account login

Team-name moderation
Official Premier League guidance asks managers to think carefully before entering a team name.
Names considered inappropriate or offensive can result in action against the team or account under the terms and conditions.
Avoid:
- Hate speech
- Discriminatory language
- Sexual or violent content
- Harassment
- Personal attacks
- Impersonation
- References that breach platform rules
How to report an offensive name
The official Fantasy FAQ advises users to report:
- The team name
- The manager's name
- The league where the name appeared
Use the contact form at the bottom of the official Help page.
Do not publicly share personal information while reporting the issue.
Choosing a new FPL team name
A strong name is:
- Short
- Easy to read
- Memorable in a league table
- Connected to a player or FPL joke
- Not dependent on a likely transfer
- Suitable for work and public mini-leagues
Name styles
| Style | Example direction |
|---|---|
| Player pun | Haaland, Palmer, Saka or Bruno wordplay |
| Club-based | A name linked to the club you support |
| Data | xG, ownership or fixture humour |
| Mini-league | Rivalry or group-chat joke |
| Strategy | Chips, captains, hits or transfers |
| Evergreen | A name that remains useful after transfers |

Should you include a player's name?
A player pun is memorable, but it can become outdated when:
- The player transfers
- He leaves the Premier League
- You sell him
- His role changes
- The joke is used by several rivals
An evergreen FPL name may last longer.
Team name versus team badge
The team name and badge are separate.
Official FPL also allows managers to create a personalised badge using the Premier League website and app.
Badge submissions are moderated and can take time to approve.
Changing the badge does not automatically change the name.
Changing the supported club
The official FAQ groups team-name changes with changing the team you support.
The supported club can affect:
- Supporter-league entry
- Club-related profile information
- Personalisation
Changing the supported club does not change your FPL squad or force you to select players from that club.

OneFPL and team-name updates
OneFPL reads publicly available official data.
When the official game updates your team name, OneFPL's live pages should display it after the relevant data refresh.
