Yahoo Sports Redesigns its Fantasy App
Yahoo Sports has made a significant update to how Yahoo Fantasy fans experience the app this season. The update comes with a new modern design as well as features to simplify navigation. In addition, Yahoo Fantasy will add several new content offerings to position itself as a fantasy-only news source for fans.
“The redesign is not about altering or fundamentally changing but enhancing, adding some modern aesthetic and design to it. We haven’t really undergone a major change or release here aesthetically in UX in about seven years. We think that there is a lot that we can do that showcases the work, and the good work that we do that we haven’t done a good job at elevating,” Yahoo Sports President Ryan Spoon said.
The app’s new design is focused on making sure users have an easier time maneuvering the app while staying in it, thanks to a new global navigation feature with three tabs: Home (team scores, real-time data updates, fantasy matchups, player availability and league standings), News (analytics and advice from Yahoo Fantasy experts) and Scores.
A driving principle for Yahoo Sports is to create a smart fantasy player with a full understanding of how to both use the game and manage their team. To achieve this, Yahoo Sports is introducing multiple types of new content for the upcoming football season:
• The Yahoo Fantasy Forecast featuring Matt Harmon to deliver news and analysis five times a week.
• Fantasy U – an online guide for players to learn about the app and improve their team.
• The Get to the Points newsletter by Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski.
Existing content such as Yahoo Fantasy Football Live will continue, airing twice a week. Tera Roberts joins Yahoo Sports as their newest fantasy analyst.
“Making a smarter fantasy player is actually relatively tangible. It’s about making you better at the gameplay, able to understand what you’re watching, and understand how to manage your team. A goal for us is that hopefully you play on Yahoo, but if you don’t, I still want you to use the app and get value out of our analysis and rankings,” Spoon said.
Along with the app update, Yahoo Sports partnered with NBC Sports to create a sweepstakes awarding the winning fan one million dollars, to promote fan engagement for both the app and games on NBC.
“We’ve had a longstanding relationship with NBC, and it’s something Yahoo is very proud of. NBC has a fabulous lineup in NFL this year, three games the first week across their properties. We looked at this together to figure out how to integrate what they do wonderfully and what we do wonderfully on the fantasy side, to put those together in a way that unites and drives a benefit to the game,” Spoon said.
New software option replaces standard table announcements across cash games, tournaments and formats including All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold.
GGPoker on July 9, 2026 announced Action Voice, a new software feature that lets players replace standard table announcements with voice packs recorded by poker personalities, including Doyle Brunson.
The initial lineup named by the operator includes ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Kevin Martin, with additional voices “to be confirmed in the near future.”
Action Voice is available now across GGPoker’s product offering, including cash games, tournaments and formats such as All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold. Players can select voice packs in the desktop client via ‘My Page’ and then ‘My Action Voice’.
“Doyle Brunson may not be at the tables in the way that he used to, but his voice still can be,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker. “Action Voice is our way of keeping the legends who built this game part of the everyday experience – right alongside the players carrying it forward today, like Daniel and Michael. It’s a unique and fun new element to our software, and we can’t wait to reveal the rest of the lineup soon.”
GGPoker said more Action Voice packs will be announced in the coming weeks as it rolls out the full roster.
