No. The Premier League sets a league pitch at 105 by 68 metres unless the Board approves otherwise, and in 2026/27 six clubs registered smaller pitches. The smallest is Fulham's at 100 by 65 metres.
What the Premier League rules say
Rule K.17 in the Premier League's 2026/27 handbook sets the pitch for league matches at 105 metres long and 68 metres wide. Rule K.18 allows different dimensions only when the construction of the stadium makes 105 by 68 metres impossible.
That makes 105 by 68 the standard league setup. Any other size has to be an approved exception rather than a club preference.
Registered pitch dimensions by club

Of the 20 clubs, 14 play on the standard size and six do not. Some differences are in length, some in width, and some in both.
Hull City and Chelsea are slightly below the standard in both measurements. Ipswich Town keeps the full length but uses a narrower pitch, while Crystal Palace and Liverpool keep the standard width on a shorter field. Fulham is smaller in both length and width.
The smallest pitch in the league
Fulham's registered pitch is the smallest in the 2026/27 Premier League at 100 by 65 metres. A standard 105 by 68 metre pitch covers 7140 square metres, while Fulham's covers 6500 square metres.
Other pitch rules that matter
Dimensions are only part of the league's pitch rules. Before each season, every club must register its pitch dimensions with the Board on Form 8. Under Rule K.20, the Board can also ask for an independent expert's report.
Rule K.21 says a club cannot change those dimensions during the season without the Board's written consent. Rule K.22 covers the grass: it may be no longer than 27mm, it must be cut to the same height across the whole playing surface, and the mowing pattern must be straight parallel lines across the width of the pitch at right angles to the touchlines. Other patterns, including circles or diagonals, are not allowed.
Rule K.7 also sets a stadium condition linked to league matches. Unless a ground has a Safe Standing Licence, spectators may only be offered seats, and most of the spectator accommodation must be covered.
