FanDraft 2021 is now available!

Last season we launched the next generation of FanDraft, where we transformed the previous desktop software into an online application. This long-overdue evolution was expedited due to the pandemic, which brought an immediate need to use the software fully online. However, the transition also added several other benefits: Now users can access the FanDraft software from any computer at any time they want, there is persistent storage of archived (prior season) drafts, and most importantly there is an ability for remote owners to participate in your in-person/live drafts.

NEW FEATURES IN FANDRAFT 2021

Along with the aforementioned benefits of running FanDraft “in the cloud”, the platform now has the technological infrastructure to continually improve. Below is a list of the biggest features added in 2021.
