“Apparently the only thing inflation has not touched yet is our fantasy football buy-in.”
Why This Is on the Docket
CPC currently charges one all-inclusive annual fee funding both Fantasy Football and the Sleeper Pick’em Challenge. This proposition asks whether that fee should increase to expand the total prize pool.
Current Rule
Annual dues are $250 per franchise. With ten franchises, the annual prize pool is $2,500.
Proposed Rule
Beginning with the 2026 season, annual league dues will increase from $250 to $300 per franchise.
| Current | Proposed | |
|---|---|---|
| Per Franchise | $250 | $300 |
| Ten-Team Prize Pool | $2,500 | $3,000 |
| Increase | — | +$500 |
How the Additional Money Is Used
The additional $500 will be distributed evenly across the existing Fantasy Football and Pick’em payout structure. No new payout category is created.
One hundred percent of league dues remains committed back to the League. The revised 2026 payout schedule will be published before the increased balance is collected and before Draft Day.
