Ā
The EFL, in partnership with Genius Sports, has officially launched āFantasy EFL,ā the Leagueās first-ever 72-club fantasy football game to involve all Member Clubs across the three Sky Bet EFL divisions.
First teased at the 2023/24 Sky Bet EFL Play-Off Finals, Fantasy EFL will be an innovative platform to unify fans of EFL Clubs, fantasy football players, plus the wider football community to play and engage with almost 2000 EFL first-team players, more than 1600 Sky Bet EFL fixtures and all 72 Clubs during the twists and turns of a season.
Available on web, and as a brand-new app for iOS and Android users, Fantasy EFL is free to play and allows participants to become Managers every gameweek of the Sky Bet EFL.
EFL Chief Executive Trevor Birch said: āWeāre very excited to bring the EFLās first fantasy football game to life as a central product that engages not only with supporters of all 72 EFL Clubs, but also the wider football audience. Weāve interrogated research into what fans would want out of an EFL fantasy football game and been strategic on providing a product that isnāt just a copy of what is already in the market.
āFantasy EFL is a premium product that enhances the EFL brand and opens further opportunities with our broadcasters and commercial partners. Alongside Genius Sports, Fantasy EFL appeals to both the avid and casual fan and will expand the rising interest in the Sky Bet EFL, our Clubs and their players beyond fans who attend matches and those who watch along at home.ā
Genius Sports Chief Partnerships Officer, Steven Burton, said: āFantasy EFL is unique, interactive, and fun and Genius Sports is delighted to deliver this exciting new game for the EFL and its Member Clubs.
āThis new game will test fansā knowledge of both teams and individual players while providing them with a platform to compete with their friends and family every week.ā

WagerWire Launches Buying and Selling of Fantasy Entries in App
Ā
WagerWire, a sports gaming marketplace technology company serving sportsbooks and fantasy operators, announced that buying and selling is now live in their app, available in the iOS and Google Play stores. This marks the first time that fantasy players can legally buy and sell daily fantasy Pickāem entries with the tap of a button.
WagerWire users are now able to buy and sell RealTime Fantasy Sports entries on the app, with more fantasy operators to be added for trading soon. WagerWire announced their integration with RealTime Fantasy in January 2024, allowing users to sell their Pickāem lineups while in progress, including during the actual game, directly on the RTFS platform. During the NFL playoffs, the marketplace saw 12% of all DFS Pickāem lineups sell on the secondary market.
āThis is a paradigm shifting moment for fantasy. This launch represents a way to bring more ownership and control over their entries. For the first time, there is a way to cash in on your lineups even if they go on to lose ā by selling it to a friend or on the open market. The excitement is palpable,ā said WagerWire Co-Founder and CEO Zach Doctor.
The newly launched fantasy marketplace is the latest addition to the growing technology portfolio of WagerWireās parent company Wire Industries Inc. Their app already hosts an array of marketplace tools for both sports betting and fantasy including stat tracking, account syncing, bet value graph builders and calculator, and social features that allow users to follow how their friends, influencers, or sharps are playing.
āIāve been playing fantasy for years, but being able to sell my DFS lineups is game-changing. Iām also loving being able to buy and sell in-game and see the progress of my picks with live price suggestions. The RT marketplace in the WagerWire app takes an already great and easy-to-use experience to the next level,ā said Braiden Payne, RealTime Fantasy Sports veteran user.
WagerWire was recently shortlisted for two awards at SBC North America ā Rising Star of the Year and Affiliate of the Year, in addition to EGRās Rising Star of the Year and Hashtag Sportās Best X Presence award.
