“Touchdown!” And just like that, the 2015-2026 NFL season is right around the corner. Gather your crew and start preparing for a season filled with football, fun, food, and drinks. The D is here to help you craft a game plan so you’re not caught off guard when fantasy football draft day is finally here. There’s no better place to support your favorite NFL team than in the Entertainment Capital of the World for the ultimate Las Vegas fantasy football draft party!
During the NFL season, you don’t just have to sit on the couch and watch the games; you can be apart of the action when you join a fantasy football league. Joining your very own league is a great way to keep the competitive spirit alive between you and your buddies. You can create your team of preferred players and compete against your friends and coworkers for the grand prize, which is normally money, but let’s face it, bragging rights are priceless! Planning for Fantasy Football can start as early as April and as late as September.
This season at the D, you can begin plans to host your own fantasy football NFL draft party. Get the group gathered and start preparing for the competition!
Even though you can start creating a league or team as early as April, you can’t draft players until the end of May. However, it’s advised to wait until August to start building your team for ultimate success. With the NFL preseason happening from July 31, 2025 to August 23, this is the optimal time to host your party. Holding a Las Vegas fantasy football draft party during this time gives you the chance to scope out the players and make any adjustments to teams before the NFL season starts on September 4, 2025.
When hosting a fantasy football draft party, make sure you have all the essentials, like a draft board, pens, paper, clipboards, and even awards if you want to keep the competition exciting.
Make sure there are plenty of beverages nearby and easy-toy-eat food on the table! Another fun way to host the ultimate party is by making it a potluck. Have guests craft up some themed dishes to get everyone in the spirit.
Websites like Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football and MyFantasyLeague.com offer exceptional platforms so you can keep track of your fantasy football league’s stats throughout the season.
When creating a fantasy football league, you have “owners” or “managers” that help keep people on track. Even though this draft is a leisurely activity for friends, it’s important to set rules for the league before the season starts. Additional tip: make sure your league owner isn’t a hothead! You can get enough of that watching the real teams on the big screen.
Talk about trading, fees, rules, limitations, and additional rules to keep the game fun and to avoid conflict. It would be discouraging to be taken out in the middle of the season for causing a fantasy penalty, so make sure everyone in the league understands the rules!
A party board will help keep track of teams, drafts, trades, and updates during the season. A draft party board will also keep track of player stats while monitoring what happens to them during the season.
Playing Fantasy Football should be fun. Watching football is an American pastime that brings people together and Fantasy Football should be the same!
If hosting a party seems a bit difficult and time-consuming, check out the area and see if anyone is throwing a party that you can join. Or better yet, contact the D in Las Vegas and host your very own epic fantasy football draft party in Vegas that can be tailored to your league’s needs. For $40 per person, you can rent man caves that are stocked with TVs, draft boards upon requests, and the first drink free – with an option to upgrade to an open bar. While the D takes care of your Las Vegas fantasy football draft party, all you have to do is bring along your friends.
