How to do a Mock Practice Draft

Starting in late 2026, we released a dedicated area for a league's Admin user to perform Practice drafts.

This area will allow you to perform a practice draft before the real one. All settings behave exactly as they will on draft night, so you can learn the room without any risk.

Simply click the Practice Draft button from the league dashboard to begin.

Reset Practice Draft

You can reset the practice draft at any time by clicking the "RESET PRACTICE DRAFT" button, located on the yellow practice mode bar at the bottom of the draft board.

Additional Details to Know

• If any league settings change, the practice draft will automatically reset.

  Some team settings (team names, logos, autodraft) will require a manual reset to reflect those changes.

• Your real draft board, keepers and pick trades are never touched.
• Remote owners can join you in the Practice Draft area if they would like. They can access the same button from their dashboard.
• Only the Admin user can start the practice draft.

Legacy Method

You can perform an unlimited number of drafts with your league(s). The best way to become familiar with the FanDraft platform is by running some practice / mock drafts. 

1. Enter the Draft Room
2. As a commissioner, you can make selections on behalf of other teams, so continue to make picks and explore the various platform tools and features.

RESET DRAFT

It's important to reset your draft after every mock/practice draft, as this will make sure the draft results get refreshed prior to your official draft.

After you have performed a practice draft, simply RESET it by clicking the "Reset Draft" link.

MOCK/PRACTICE DRAFTING FOR OWNERS

If you have an owner in your league is hoping to login to perform a practice draft (for the sake of becoming familiar with the software), there are only two ways this is possible:

1. As long as you (the Commissioner) is participating in the mock/practice draft with them
2. You assign this owner with Co-Commissioner access.
