ALL TIMELINES ARE BASED ON THE RELEASE OF THE NEW SEASON BY ACTION SPORTS
TRADING PERIOD ONE is open and will last until the 2026 game file is released. During this time: a) Rookie picks for 2026 and 2027 may be traded. b) Free Agent draft picks for 2026 may be traded but teams must maintain exactly 10 picks at all times. c) Any active player listed on the 2026 preliminary file.
MAY 17 a) Trading will close and the updated TSFL file will be released to league members. Teams will cut to 42 active players with a cap value of $112,000,000 and must remain above the cap floor of $82,000,000. Salaries for the 42 players will be used to determine the Free Agency draft order. b) Teams must get below the max limits of attempts for skill position players prior to the FA draft. PASSING: Minimum 350, maximum 700 attempts with no team able to carry more than 1 QB with 400 attempts. Teams must roster 3 QB UNLESS one has a 10 durability rating. RUNNING: Minimum 225, maximum 650 rush attempts, including RB, QB, and WR. 3 RB required. RECEIVING: Minimum 175, maximum 550 receptions, including WR, TE, and RB. 5 WR and 3 TE/HB required. a) Teams must get into compliance with league requirements for roster position players b) Teams may place no more than 3 players on INJURED RESERVE. This includes any active player with a 3-or-less durability rating or any unrated player. These players will be salaried at $350,000. The players do not factor into the 42 cut, but the salaries are included. c) Salaries for the 42 players will be used to determine the Free Agency draft order.
MAY 24 The free agent draft will begin in Stratdraft; teams will be responsible for monitoring their own salary cap, with teams going over the cap being penalized a draft pick and losing that player. Each team will make 10 selections over 10 days, which should fill their team to 52 players The draft will include all TSFL free agent players as defined in section 3.0. After the FA draft, there will be a 72 hour period where teams can add/delete players from their roster on a first come/first serve basis. JUNE 1 Upon the completion of the Free Agent draft, a new league file will be issued; at that point, we will have a 72 hour window for teams get their rosters finalized with a first come/first served add and drop. By the time this add/drop phase is done, every team should be in compliance with roster rules. At this point, every team will then select 5 players from their corresponding NFL teams to make up their taxi squad. These players will not be retained the following season, so the emphasis should be filling any holes you have on your team. These players will NOT count towards the salary cap, nor will they be counted towards max attempts (ie, you can add a 4th QB, or go over RB attempts if the taxi squad player is available).
JUNE 13 Rookie draft will commence on Stratdraft, with only drafted rookies being eligible for selection; these rookies will be the one selected in the most recent NFL draft (the one just completed in April) and will be added to your active roster in 2025. The TSFL rookie draft will be 5 rounds and ordered according to current NFL seeding rules and tiebreakers. No roster adjustments of any kind will be required prior to the rookie draft. Drafted rookies will not have any salary until rated by DK Sports.
TRADING PERIOD TWO will begin approximately 24 hours after the rookie draft and will end after Thursday of Week 4. a) Teams must remain under salary cap of $118,000,000 and above the minimum of $88,000,000
