Create a League

On the Fantasy Football tab, select "Create League".

Enter your desired league name, the number of teams, scoring preference, draft preference, and draft time and date.

Note: Beginning with the 2017/2018 NFL season, all leagues created are defaulted to PPR (Points Per Reception) and fractional scoring. League Managers can change their league set up to be non-PPR and/or fractional. Click here for a list of League Manager Powers. Also, ESPN no longer offers Public Custom Leagues.
