Text Box: 2025 LEAGUE SCHEDULE

ALL TIMELINES ARE BASED ON THE RELEASE OF THE NEW SEASON BY ACTION SPORTS

 


APRIL 6, 12:01am 2025 league season opens and trading commences.

 

Within 48 hours after new game release, new TSFL file will be released to league members.  Free Agent draft order will be established from this initial file, with the salaries of the top 45 players being used to determine the order, with lowest salary drafting 1st and going up from there. At this time, all teams will need to be below $121,000,000 prior to the initiation of trading.  All teams must confirm their rosters prior to trading, with rosters assumed to be confirmed if not having done so by midnight 4/6. (NOTE: You will not be able to alter your roster after that time).

 

TRADING PERIOD ONE will occur after the new league file is issued and will last for 3-4 weeks until 1 week before the start of the FA draft.  During this time:

a) Teams must remain under salary cap of $121,000,000, with you needing to be below $118,000,000 at the start of the FA draft

b) Teams must get below the max limits of attempts for skill position players prior to the FA draft

c) Teams must get into compliance with league requirements for roster position players

d) Teams must maintain an ACTIVE roster of 45 players, and cut down to 45 at the time of the FA draft

e) Teams may not trade players on INJURED RESERVE, nor add or remove players from that list.

f) Rookie picks for this year may be traded


MAY 10
All teams at this point will need to cut down to 45 players, with the max salary being $118,000,000 (in order to facilitate signing 7 players and not going over the cap), and every team must be below max attempts at the skill positions, and must be under the max player limits on their roster (ie, only 1 K/P with a durability of 10 on your roster, etc).  Trading is frozen at this time a week prior to the draft, in order to load Stratdraft with the players for the draft.

PASSING: Minimum 350, maximum 800 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 600 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.

 

MAY 17

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 7 selections over 7 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.

MAY 24

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.

MAY 31

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 7

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.
League trading period ONE will end within the 48 hours prior to the start of the rookie draft, then resume after the draft is completed. Rookie picks may not be traded during the rookie draft.

 

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 $121,000,000
b) Teams may be under league requirements for skill player attempts
c) Teams may be under league requirements for roster position players
d) Teams must maintain an ACTIVE roster of 52 players
e) Teams may not trade players on INJURED RESERVE, not add or remove players from that list.
f)  Rookies from the recently completed rookie draft may be traded
g) Rookie picks for the following season may be traded
