Special Announcement
NFL Bracket Tournament
FanDuel has launched their first ever FanDuel Fantasy Football Bracket Championship. Just make the field of 64 to clinch your share of $1,000,000. Then survive and advance your way to a $200,000 first-place payday. There will be weekly qualifier contests throughout October that award entry to the field of 64. Check out the landing page for a schedule of those contests and more information.
Sunday Contests
The Sunday contests include FanDuel’s largest tournaments. These begin at 1pm ET on Sunday and include all of the Sunday NFL games plus the Monday night games.
Footballguys FanDuel Championship
It’s just $10 to play and the top-500 (out of 1,130) double up their cash each week. Plus Footballguys’ own Joe Bryant, David Dodds, and Sigmund Bloom will be entering the contest too. And if you finish ahead of those three, you’ll be playing in a final round in Week 11 that offers $40,000 in FREE prizes. You do not want to miss out on this contest and it filled up early again last week. Play now!
Sunday Million
FanDuel's largest prize pool for Week 3 is the Sunday Million. It's just $25 to play and there's $5 Million in total prizes. First place will take home a $1 Million prize and the top 46,000 entries will walk away with a cash prize too. Play now!
Sunday Rush
The Sunday Rush stands strong at $2 Million in total prizes. The best part is that it's only $5 to enter and you'd have a shot at the $150,000 first place prize. And all you need to do is finish among the top-90,800 entries to win cash. This contest has been known to fill early, so be sure to enter sooner than later. Play now!
Thursday Contests
While Thursday contests normally have a smaller prize pool than the Sunday contests, they're still no slouch (as you'll find out below) and they include ALL of the NFL games each week. For insight into strategy that's specific to Thursday contests, check out this article by Footballguys' own Phil Alexander.
Thu NFL Bomb
If you enjoy the Sunday Million, the Thu NFL Bomb is its little sister. It's just $25 to play and there's now $250,000 in total prizes. First place will take home a $20,000 of those total prizes, which leaves plenty more cash for the other entries that crack the top-2,235. Play now!
Thu NFL Rush
Leading the way for the Thursday slate on FanDuel is the Thu NFL Rush, which measures in at $600,000 in total prizes. At just $5 to play, it's certainly worth a look (or maybe two). And the top-26,382 will win cash with $50,000 to first place. Play now!
Sunday Afternoon Contests
FanDuel will also have Sunday Afternoon contests each week. These are posted soon after the Sunday games with a 1pm ET start time begin. Be sure to check back in the lobby if you're looking to get in on the afternoon excitement!
