Fantasy Football in 2026: What players really think

At Fantasy Football Fest 2026, UKFSF spoke directly to fantasy football players about how they experience the game today, from the way it shapes their relationship with football to how content, data and AI are changing the way they play.

Bringing those conversations together, this film explores what players value, how the game is evolving and what their experiences could mean for the fantasy sports industry.

The UK Fantasy Sports Forum launches

Today marks the launch of the UK Fantasy Sports Forum (UKFSF), an independent, not-for-profit forum dedicated to improving understanding of fantasy sports through research, discussion and collaboration.

Our aim is simple: to improve understanding of fantasy sports and support its responsible, long-term development. We believe that better research, more open discussion and stronger collaboration can help the entire ecosystem, from operators and sports organisations to media, technology providers, content creators and players.
