What's New

Recently shipped features on News Hub Fantasy.

IFL Fantasy Football has arrived

  • Indoor Football League leagues are live. Draft from all 14 IFL teams with full player stats for the 2026 season — live snake drafts, weekly head-to-head matchups, waivers, and trades, just like our CFL and UFL leagues. The indoor roster fits the indoor game: QB, RB, three wide receivers, a kicker, and a team defense (no tight ends).
  • Barry Cade is on the desk. IFL leagues get their own anchor on the News Hub Sports Network with weekly previews, power rankings, and recaps about YOUR teams.
  • Leagues are open now. Create an IFL league or join a public one.

News Hub Sports Network

  • Your league has its own sports network. Every league gets a dedicated anchor — Trey Downs for CFL, Kay Kawson for UFL — with a broadcast-style front page under the NETWORK tab. Coverage is automatic during the season: matchup previews and power rankings drop Thursday mornings, full recaps Monday mornings, all written about YOUR teams, owners, and scores. Commissioners can rename the anchor or change the on-air style in the network settings.
  • Call in and chat with your anchor. Hit 📞 CALL IN on the network page for a private, live conversation — ask about your matchup, your roster, or just talk trash about a rival. The anchor knows your league's standings, stats, and transactions and answers in character.

League management

  • Discord notifications. Each league can post draft picks, waiver results, trades, and week-advance notices to a Discord channel via webhook. Set up in League Settings → Discord Notifications. Setup guide →
  • League Notes. Commissioners can pin house rules, payouts, and tiebreakers to the top of the league dashboard. Plain text, up to 4,000 chars.
  • Multi-season league history. Mark a champion at season's end and renew the league in one click — same scoring, members, Discord settings, and notes carry over. Past seasons are linked as read-only archives from every renewed league.

Drafts

  • Auction drafts. Pick "Auction" when creating a league. Each team starts with a configurable budget (default $200) and the commissioner records each winning bid. Budget, position limits, and per-team reserve are validated automatically.
  • Commissioner draft rescue tools. Pause/resume the draft mid-flow, or undo the last pick if someone typo'd or auto-pick grabbed the wrong player. All actions log to chat and fire Discord notifications.

In-season tools

  • Matchup progress bar. Above the player breakdown on every matchup — "5/8 starters played · 63%" for both teams, so you know whether the score is locked in or the rest of the day will swing things.
  • Power Rankings. Live-computed rankings on the standings tab with trend arrows comparing to last week, plus 🔥 hottest / 🧊 coldest team callouts.
  • Coach of the Week. Each week's recap names the manager who hit the highest percentage of their realistic optimal lineup — and calls out who left the most points on their bench.
  • Per-league position-limit toggles. Commissioners can disable the cap at QB / RB / WR / TE / K for waiver claims if their league wants to allow position stockpiling.
  • Trade Block notes. Each manager can write a free-text trade note visible to every team on the Trades tab — drives trade conversation without needing per-player markers.

Playoffs

  • Configurable bracket sizes. Pick top 2, 3, 4, or 6 teams for the playoffs, with an optional consolation (loser) bracket for the bottom of the standings.
  • Auto-advancing brackets. When a playoff week closes, the next round's matchups are generated automatically — semifinals, championships, and multi-round 6-team brackets all handled.

Discoverability

  • Most-owned players. Live ranking of which CFL / UFL players are rostered across the most fantasy leagues, with position and search filters. CFL · UFL
  • Player ownership %. Every player profile shows what percentage of leagues currently roster them.
  • Recent news on player profiles. Articles from cflnewshub.com and uflnewshub.com mentioning a player are surfaced on their profile.
  • CFL Playoff Machine. Pick the winners of remaining CFL games and watch standings, playoff seeds, and the crossover rule update live. Try it →
  • UFL Playoff Machine. Same tool adapted for the UFL. Try it →

CFL fans

  • CFL-specific scoring categories. Singles (rouge), missed-FG penalty, defensive pass deflections, and per-yard return scoring as configurable fields in the scoring settings page. Default off for UFL leagues.
