Structure

Welcome to the 2026 World Fantasy Baseball Championship (“WFBC” or “Promotion”). The WFBC consists of a series of qualifier contests (each a “WFBC Qualifier” and collectively the “WFBC Qualifiers”) and culminates with the WFBC Finals contest Tuesday, August 18, 2026 (“WFBC Finals”). The Promotion is sponsored by FanDuel, Inc., located at 1 Madison Avenue, 23 Floor, New York, NY 10010 (“FanDuel” or the “Sponsor”). Here are the detailed rules for the WFBC.

Users may qualify for the WFBC Finals by winning an entry via WFBC Qualifiers. The WFBC Finals will include a total of one hundred twenty-five (125) seats. FanDuel will run WFBC Qualifiers starting on March 26, 2026. Each WFBC Qualifier will award at least one entry into the WFBC Finals, though FanDuel reserves the right to run WFBC Qualifiers that award more than one entry (each a “Mega Qualifier” and collectively, the “Mega Qualifiers”). In a Mega Qualifier the participants with the highest scoring entries will win an entry into the WFBC Finals in accordance with the number of entries into the WFBC Finals being offered in that particular Mega Qualifier. For example, if FanDuel announces that three entries into the WFBC Finals will be awarded in a specific Mega Qualifier, then the three highest scoring entries in that Mega Qualifier will each win one entry into the WFBC Finals. FanDuel also reserves the right to award entries into the WFBC Finals in its own discretion.

In each WFBC Qualifier, the participant whose team scores the most fantasy points will secure one entry into the WFBC Finals (“Qualifier Winner”). Mega Qualifiers may award entry into the WFBC Finals to multiple finishers (“Mega Qualifier Winners” and, collectively with Qualifier Winners, “Finalists”).

Teams and Scoring

Each WFBC Qualifier, each Mega Qualifiers as well as the WFBC Finals, will use standard FanDuel MLB rosters and scoring rules, as explained here: https://www.fanduel.com/rules.

In the event of a tie for a position that awards an entry into the WFBC Finals in a WFBC Qualifier or Mega Qualifier, the tied participants will play a one-day 'playoff' contest to determine finishing position. The playoff will be a Head-to-Head or private league contest using standard FanDuel MLB rosters and scoring rules. All other ties (whether in the WFBC Finals, Mega Qualifiers or WFBC Qualifiers) will result in the tied participants splitting the cash value of the prizes for the tied finishing positions.

Prizes

WFBC Qualifiers and Mega Qualifiers Prizing: Each WFBC Qualifier and Mega Qualifier will award an entry into the WFBC Finals (estimated cash value of $16,000) to the first-place finisher (or top eligible finishers for Mega Qualifiers). Any other prizes for WFBC Qualifiers and Mega Qualifiers will be published in advance of users being able to enter such contests.

The prize for each Finalist includes one (1) entry into the WFBC Finals contest on Tuesday, August 18, 2025.

Participants are only eligible to win a maximum of ten (10) entries into the WFBC Finals. Once a participant wins ten entries into the WFBC Finals, he/she is ineligible to win any additional entries into the WFBC Finals. Any participant who enters a lineup in a WFBC Qualifier or Mega Qualifier that finishes in a position to win an entry into the WFBC Finals but would result in the participant having an excess of ten (10) entries into the WFBC Finals will be awarded the cash value of the entry into the WFBC Finals in lieu of winning another seat in the WFBC Finals.

WFBC Finals Prizing: The first place finisher in the WFBC Finals will receive a cash prize of Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). All other prizes for the WFBC Finals will be published when the first WFBC Qualifiers are created.
