The UEFA Champions League is back, and so is the official free-to-play UCL Fantasy Football game.
Last season, thousands of UCL Fantasy managers took on Micah Richards in his very own Big Meeks League. The former Manchester City and England defender turned fan-favourite pundit is back in 2026/27, and the challenge is bigger than ever.
UCL Fantasy is about more than just picking players - it is about leagues, rivalries and community. The group chats exploding on a matchnight, the bragging rights that last all week, the shared rituals and the rivalries that build over the course of the season.
This sense of community and friendly rivalry is exactly the spirit behind the Big Meeks League – and Richards wants you to get involved.
Start your own league
Climbing the global rankings is part of the fun, but UCL Fantasy is at its best when you are competing against people you know. Whether you are taking on Richards himself, or competing against friends, family or colleagues, every matchday means more when there is something on the line.
From heated office showdowns, battles for family pride or group chat bragging rights, every matchweek carries extra jeopardy as part of a UCL Fantasy league.
Creating your private league takes seconds. Build your team, set up a league and share the league link or code around you to create rivalries that will unfold all season.
Start your league today and make every match and every decision count.

Richards is ready for another season of bold calls, big opinions and plenty of banter.
