Experience the best way to play fantasy football — the original auction game, created by the people who invented it.About this Event
Join us for a Fantasy League Player Auction…
It’s two hours of football-meets-poker, tactics-meet-banter, and genuinely “one of the best nights of the year” — where you build your team live, against your mates.
You win by being smart: going for the right player at the right time, holding your nerve, knowing when to go big (or let someone else overpay).
Create your league with 5–15 mates and bid against each other to build your Premier League squads.
Every player goes to the highest bidder, so every squad is unique - no more leagues where everyone ends up owning the same players.
That’s what makes it more realistic - and why it stays competitive all season.
Each week you pick your formation and starting XI, and each month there’s a transfer window where you bid for free agents or negotiate swap deals with your rivals.
It’s a better - and much more social - way to play fantasy football. Many leagues get together during the season for transfer windows and hold awards nights when it’s all over.
We’ll walk you through it on the night and make sure everyone knows what they’re doing before the auction starts!
Join us for Auction Night!
Bring your mates and set up your league, or come solo and we’ll help you try it out (you can also join a league with others). Entry: £10 (includes a free drink)
About the game
This is how fantasy football was designed to be played: more realistic, more competitive, more social. It’s why thousands of leagues have played for decades - and why once people try it, they keep coming back. Many describe it as “more than a game” - the glue that keeps their group connected.

About Fantasy League
Fantasy League is still the same passionate, independent business we’ve been since 1991. We’ve been behind some of the biggest fantasy games for The Telegraph, BBC TV, Sky Sports and The Sun. But these days we focus on one thing: our original auction-based game - because we genuinely believe it’s the best way to play fantasy football.
