If you don’t know fantasy sports, you’re probably coming off a successful (or unsuccessful) football season. Maybe you also play serious basketball or fantasy hockey and endure the rigors of those seasons. If all of the above applies and you’re ready for your next challenge, or you’ve been eagerly awaiting fantasy baseball, we have good news.

Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is officially live for the 2026 MLB season! Register now and proceed to make your league plans.

Make the most of this exciting baseball season

If you’ve played fantasy games before, well – welcome back! If you are new to fantasy baseball, we have a very helpful and informative Fantasy Baseball 101 that will give you everything you need to know before playing.

Forced to find your team? The draft is open now or you can practice with mock drafts to get ready for the real thing. Yahoo Fantasy analysts are also ready to help you win your league, kicking off the draft season with our top 250 rankings so you can start mapping out which players to target. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to our fantastic baseball content.

We’ll be bringing all kinds of advice leading up to the season, including spot previews, draft strategies, breakout games, sleepers, players to avoid drafting, bold predictions and more from top-level analysts, including Scott Pianowski and Fred Zinkie.

There is much to be excited about and more to come

We’ll have some great new features to announce for the 2026 season soon, but here are a few things to be excited about now:

Draft with Friends!

Have you ever had a few friends who wanted to play but not enough to fill a fantasy baseball league? However, you can now instantly invite up to three people to join you in a free community league. All you have to do is enter the free public draft room and press the “Add Friends Before” button to invite people to join your draft! (This feature is currently only available for community leagues.)

Rest easy with Start Active Players!

Do you want to reduce the burden of carefully planning your baseball game, day after day? With the tap of a button on the web or in the Yahoo Fantasy app, the free Start Active Players feature will set up your roster for you, populating your roster with healthy players playing that particular day/week and benching those who are inactive and/or injured.

If you’re ready to take your game to the next level, you can find something even better…

Get the edge with the new features of Yahoo Fantasy+!

Yahoo Fantasy+ premium features help you win from draft day to the playoffs. Players with Fantasy+ are 81%‡ more likely to win their league. Here are three new tools* coming this baseball season for Fantasy+ subscribers:

A quick mock draft: Practice your draft in seconds. Test different strategies, positions and plan formations as many times as you like, at any time, instantly.
Draft Kits: An AI-Powered Draft Kit with a personalized cheat sheet with rankings, classifications and projections designed specifically for your league. Only on the Yahoo Fantasy app.
Assistant GM: Manage smart, not hard with a new feature that helps set up your perfect plan with one click and much more.

*These Fantasy+ tools come from Fantasy Baseball. They already exist in other fantasy games. ‡ Based on 2024 Yahoo Fantasy Sports LLC data.

Now’s your chance to gain the edge — unlock premium draft tools and more with Yahoo Fantasy Plus.

A reminder that the default score in all newly formed baseball leagues will be the exact score. This is the standard for all new leagues, but private league commissioners can change their scoring settings if they so choose, while those in public leagues will also have upside and rotisserie goals as options as well.

Once the draft is in the books and the first pitch has been thrown on Opening Day, our analysts will be with you all season long with waiver wire, trades to be made, lineup tips and more. And for more personalized tips, Yahoo Fantasy+ offers a wealth of in-season tools — and a few other membership benefits — to give you an extra edge when it comes to moving plans. All of this will help you stay ahead of your peers in your quest to capture the fantasy baseball tournament!

Now go sign up for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball to start preparing for the 2026 MLB season. I wish you luck!
