Deadlines in another time zone

How to read this list

New York and the UK both change their clocks, on different dates, so the gap is four or five hours during the season; Pacific time is three hours behind the times shown here.

The official Fantasy Premier League deadline is 90 minutes before the first kickoff of each gameweek, and Gaffer leagues lock 15 minutes after that. Both move when a fixture is rescheduled; the table is rebuilt from the fixture list every few minutes. Open a gameweek for its fixtures, kickoffs and, once played, the top scorers and dream team.

Questions people ask

What time is the FPL deadline in the USA (Eastern time)?

Why does the deadline time in the USA (Eastern time) change during the season?

New York and the UK both change their clocks, on different dates, so the gap is four or five hours during the season; Pacific time is three hours behind the times shown here. The official deadline is always 90 minutes before the first kickoff of the gameweek, and the table converts each one exactly for its date.

When do Gaffer leagues lock in the USA (Eastern time) time?

Fifteen minutes after the official deadline, so a last-minute change in the official game can still be copied across. The lock time for every gameweek is in the table, in the USA (Eastern time) time.

Where do these times come from?

From the stored fixture list, which is rebuilt every few minutes, so the deadline moves when a kickoff is moved for television. Each row carries the exact instant in UTC for machines.
