2026 Season: The major change for 2026 is we are allowing trading during the 3 rd annual rookie drafts in our dynasty leagues. Please read this blog post for complete details.
Quick Summary
- Active Trading: 8:00 AM – Midnight ET (trades allowed overnight, but the pick clock is paused)
- Under 1 Hour Left on a Pick: Trade rejected. No exceptions.
- Future Picks: Renew your team before you offer or accept. Unpaid/unrenewed future-pick trades are auto-rejected.
- Funding: Deposit early and in bulk to avoid payment processor lockouts.
2027 Season: An additional blind bidding period will be added to the preseason. While the exact schedule is still being finalized, it will occur shortly after NFL Free Agency. This will be Blind Bidding only (no FCFS).

There will always be at least three years of picks available for trade.
Once a league fills for the current season, the renewal link for the upcoming year will be removed and the next available year will be added.
- Example: When a league fills for 2025, the 2025 renewal link is removed and the 2028 renewal link is posted.
You may trade picks for any year that is available for renewal, provided your team is renewed up to and including the season of that pick.

There is only one waiver period during the preseason:

Blind Bidding: Starts eight days (two Sundays) after the Rookie Draft at 1:00 pm ET.
Processing: Bids will not process until 10:00 pm ET on the Wednesday after Labor Day.
First-Come, First-Served (FCFS): Runs from Wednesday at 11:00 pm ET until Sunday at 1:00 pm ET, beginning the first Wednesday after Labor Day.
Note: This schedule provides approximately one month to finalize and submit your initial set of blind bids.

Future Picks: Any trade involving a future pick requires the team trading the pick to be renewed for the year of that pick.
Mid-Season Requirements: Any trade occurring between Week 10 and Week 13 requires both teams to be renewed for the following season.
Post-Season Trading: Trading restarts after Week 16 and runs through the final day of the NFL Playoffs. Both teams must be renewed to trade during this window.
Renewal Deadline: Any trade involving a team that needs to renew must have the renewal completed by 11:00 pm ET Saturday night, or the trade will be automatically rejected.

Pause: Trading pauses on the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week at 11:00 pm ET.
Resume: Trading re-opens after the kickoff of the Black Friday game.
Renewal Rejections: Any trade requiring an owner to renew that is not completed will be automatically rejected at midnight ET.
Final Deadline: Trading remains open until 10:00 pm ET on the final day of the trading window.
