Typically the answer to that question is FICTION is the opposite of FACT.
But what constitutes either fact or fiction? Fact must be a proven truth, a truism or established natural law, not just a theory. A theory is a conditional or hypothetical fact, which is itself fiction based on the best currently known assumptions. So, if you include THEORIES (Relativity, Atomic, Evolution, Big Bang, various economic theories, etc.) as a type of fact, then FICTION can't be the precise opposite.
Even if you agree that FACTS must be TRUE, a better antonym, in my thinking, would be FALLACY. This is because FICTIONS may be pure fabrications for the sake of fantasy, or they may contain a substantial amount of facts; as in historical fiction. However, all fiction contains FALLACIES. The fallacies are either there by design to fill-out a story to make it more interesting, for instance to supply historical or logical gaps, fictional dialogue, missing pieces of information, or a second fabricated fictional side story line, etcetera, or they are there accidently because the source material is faulty.
If FACTS MUST be 100% known TRUE and PROVABLE to all parties without any degree of FAITH in order to count as FACT, then you are left only with MATHEMATICAL CONSTRUCTS and DESCRIPTORS, and other self-identified scientific terms as in a well written technical manuals that describe the inventor's intentions, which are ultimately mathematically based. In other words, most mathematics can be and is fact because we can legitimately say so; we have defined them and assigned them the status of fact in a way that is ALWAYS TRUE and PROVABLE. This is legitimate because we can define such facts. This is why MATH is called the ONLY PURE SCIENCE. (Hint: Even in math we have not yet proved EVERYTHING. We just "know" that given enough time and intellect we could prove all our mathematical (ouch) "theories.")
Therefore, if in your question, FACT is taken in that sense where MATH ALONE is FACT, then the opposite of FACT is neither FALLACY nor FICTION, but anything, all things, which are not pure math. I suspect, however, that you are looking for a less esoteric, philosophical, or even less scientific answer. I theorize that rather, you were seeking more of a practical linguistic one. So, for the sake of pragmatics, define FACT then take your choice: the opposite is either fallacy or fiction-or both (or neither) LOL!
Of course, you could go mystical / spiritual and ask, If FACT is TRUTH, what is TRUTH? Then you have Jesus answering that same question posed by the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, by saying, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life," therefore the opposite of TRUTH is not just a LIE, but "the Liar" and all the lies he represents. Think about it.
