The league commish can select which games your league players pick from each week. You can keep the pre-selected games or you can add or remove any Friday, Saturday or Sunday games to pick from each week.
The 2026-27 pool starts with the first weekend of the regular season, Friday 10/23, and runs till the end of the regular season in April. Weekly winners and season standings are tracked automatically. You can start a league or jump in and start picking any week.
Why weekends? Picking every game of an 82 game season is a lot. Here it's just 10 picks a week, all on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so it fits a busy schedule and still keeps your league competing all season long.
All our pools feature easy league hosting setup for the commish and exceptional league scoring options to customize the pool to your preference.
