Soccer team lineup announcement time

mike_plumbs

Ignoring player positions, Is there a time by which a soccer team lineup has to be announced? I'm looking at English Premier League in particular. I.e. Is it known at least X minutes before kick-off or can it be left unannounced and unknown until the players come onto the pitch.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

According to rule L.21 of the current Premier League Handbook : At least 75 minutes before the time fixed for the kick-off of a League Match, a representative of each participating Club shall submit a team sheet by such method as approved by the Board containing the following particulars: the shirt numbers and names of its Players (including substitute Players) who are to take part in that League Match; the colour of the Strip to be worn by its Players, including the goalkeeper; and the names and job titles of up to seven Officials who will occupy the trainer’s bench during that League Match
