Sky Sports Fantasy Football alternatives: The Sun Dream Team launches NEXT week for new Premier League season
SKY SPORTS have announced their long-running fantasy football game has closed and will therefore not be available for the 2024/25 Premier League season.
Thankfully, footy-mad fans can get their fix by playing The Sun Dream Team’s fantasy football game in conjunction with the upcoming campaign.
Thank you

In an update posted on social media on Tuesday, Sky Sports announced: “After an amazing 15 years and engaging well over 1,000,000 players in that time, we have taken the difficult decision to not run Sky Sports Fantasy Football (SKY FF) for the upcoming 2024/25 domestic football campaign.
“We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has played and supported the game over the last 15 years.”
Wannabe managers will be able to test their knowledge of the beautiful game with The Sun Dream Team this coming season, with a jackpot of £50,000 up for grabs, plus other cash prizes.
Right now, Dream Team’s Euros fantasy football game is reaching an exciting climax but the focus will revert to club football next week, when users will be able to dive headfirst into the new season game.
Dream Team will get properly underway when Manchester United host Fulham on August 16th to commence the Premier League campaign.
But new Dream Team users should be aware that players will also score points in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League – more fixtures equals more fun!
Once the action is underway, users will have to use their weekly transfers to react to the unfolding action, targeting points through goals, assists, clean sheets, shots on target, big chances created, tackles and other avenues.
Users will also have three Boosters to play over the course of the season, each with a special effect that will ensure bumper points if activated at the opportune moments.
More details will be revealed when the new game launches next week!
Dream Team is free to play via the website or app – download now for Apple or Android.
