Run your draft, your way
In person on the big screen, fully online, or a mix of both — and in traditional or auction format. Here's everything that makes a FanDraft draft feel like the real thing.
Draft in-person, online,
or a combination of both
FanDraft was built to replace the old sticker-and-paper draft board. Run it however your league wants — and remote owners always share the exact same live experience as the people in the room.
On the big screen
Export the board to a TV or projector and run the whole thing from one laptop in Commissioner Mode — the modern replacement for the paper draft board.
From anywhere
Every owner drafts from their own computer or tablet. Invite any number of remote owners during setup — they all see the same board, clock, and announcements, live.
Best of both
Have some owners around the TV and others joining remotely. In Commish Mode the commissioner can pick for anyone, while remote owners still make their own picks.
See a draft party in action
A FanDraft draft turns pick day into an event — custom logos, walk-up songs, a live clock and ticker, and dynamic pick announcements the whole room reacts to.

If you have a fairly modern TV and laptop, getting your board onto the big screen is simple — wirelessly or wired. Pick whichever fits your setup.
Wireless streaming
Mirror your screen with AirPlay, Chromecast, or an Apple TV — no cables at all.
HDMI cable
Plug your laptop straight into the TV for the most reliable, highest-quality picture.
Digital projector
Connect a projector to your laptop and display FanDraft at a massive, theater-style size.
The regular
draft experience
In a regular (snake) draft, teams take turns picking in your league's predetermined order. Owners can draft remotely, or the commissioner can run the whole board in Commish Mode.
The owner on the clock finds their player in the search (it appears only when it's their turn).
They hit Draft Player, and the pick is processed with a dynamic on-screen announcement.
Play continues around the board until every roster is full or your round limit is reached.
In Commish Mode the admin can pause, reset or edit the clock and process any pick, any time.
Total control when you need it
Make picks on behalf of any owner, edit selections, and pause or play the clock. Remote owners can still make their own picks — the commissioner just has the option to step in whenever the moment calls for it.
The auction
draft experience
Teams take turns nominating players, then everyone bids against a budget. FanDraft is flexible — bid live in the room, have remote owners bid individually, or let the commissioner enter bids after the fact.
How a nomination works
The nominating owner picks a player from the search or board and clicks Nominate Player.
The clock starts and bidding opens for everyone.
Owners tap Bid or enter a custom amount to outbid the current leader.
Inside the final 10 seconds, any new bid resets the clock to 10 — when it hits zero, the high bidder wins the player.
No more manual math
- ✓Live bid dollars and maximum bid for every owner
- ✓Auto-skips teams once their roster is full or money runs out
- ✓Tracks roster slots so nobody bids on a position they've filled
