New Features in FanDraft '26

FanDraft 2026 is now live, and as usual we added a variety of new features and improvements. Below are some detailed highlights of a few of these new additions:

  1. End of Round Summary — Automatically displays a full-screen highlight at the end of each round, calling out the Best Pick and Worst Pick. Fully customizable by the commissioner — pause the draft for maximum chaos, auto-dismiss to keep things moving, or turn it off entirely. (learn more)

  2. Take a Draft Break — Under the “Commissioner Tools” icon for non-auction leagues, commish can create an intermission and pause the draft whenever the league wants a break.

  3. Updated Design — Refreshed setup area and major polishing of several draft-room components.

  4. Fade Walk-Up Songs — New option to fade walk-up songs out after 15, 30, or 45 seconds.

  5. Customizable “Pick Is In…” Sound Effect — Customize the sound effect that plays during the “Pick Is In” action.

  6. Cleaner Walk-Up Song Pausing — Tightened up the pausing of walk-up song music while the Voice Announcer is speaking.

  7. Auction Voice Announcer — Now announces when a player has been nominated for auction drafts.

  8. Auction Team Songs Only During Nomination — By default, walk-up songs now only play during the nomination process and stop during bidding — with an option to override.

  9. Clock Extension Improvement — Clock extensions now add time to the remaining clock instead of resetting to the extension time.

  10. View Only Mode — Allow remote owners to only see the draft board, without the ability to make selections on their own behalf.

  11. New Combo / Half-and-Half Draft Type — Full support for hybrid (part auction / part regular) style drafts. (learn more)

  12. Import League Settings From Your Provider — A quicker setup process with import from most major providers: ESPN, Yahoo, Sleeper, MyFantasyLeague, Fantrax, CBS Fantasy, and Fleaflicker.

We’ll be continuing to add more during the off-season, so make sure to track the full list of the new features and updates to FanDraft ’26 here.
