Double Gameweek 33 and Blank Gameweek 34 confirmed for up to eight clubs

Managers in Fantasy Premier League will be able to plan for the upcoming Double Gameweek 33 (DGW33) and Blank Gameweek 34 (BGW34) a little earlier than we’d expected after a number of matches were provisionally rescheduled on Thursday afternoon. The Premier League have confirmed that the clubs who win their upcoming FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend will have their matches removed from Gameweek 34 and moved into Gameweek 33. Those fixtures will be played between Tuesday 21 April and Thursday 23 April, with the dates to be finalised early next week. As a reminder, the Gameweek 32 deadline is at 18:30 BST on Friday 10 April. Essentially, then, any Premier League club who reaches the semi-finals of the FA Cup – AND their Gameweek 34 opponents – will have a DGW33 followed by a BGW34. As you can see from the FA Cup quarter-final draw below, there are six Premier League clubs still involved, with four of them going head-to-head. Ultimately, if both Arsenal and Chelsea beat their lower-league opponents, then FOUR matches will be removed from Gameweek 34, making DGW33 and BGW34 the biggest Double and Blank Gameweeks of 2025/26 Fantasy.
