Start in minutes
Start your league today — no console connection required.
You don't have to wait on your franchise to get rolling. Stand up your league in minutes: drop in all 32 teams, let owners claim their club, and run a tournament, a pick'em pool, or league awards before your franchise even exists. Connect the console later and every team and claim you set up merges right in — nothing lost, nothing re-done.
Everything inside
Every capability & convenience.
Your 32 teams, one click
A brand-new league starts with the full slate of teams ready to go — the commissioner sets them up in a single click, no import and no waiting on anyone.
Owners claim their team
Members join and claim their club right in the app — one owner, one team — so ownership, trades, and tournaments all know who runs what from day one.
Run a tournament right away
Bracket your claimed teams into a single-elim or round-robin and crown a champion before the season even kicks off — a real event, not a group-chat spreadsheet.
Play before you sync
Pick'em pools, member-voted superlatives, and trades all work in the pre-season window, so the league has life from the first day.
A guided setup checklist
The home screen walks a commissioner through it — add teams, invite owners, wire up Discord, connect the console when ready — with a live progress bar, never a blank dashboard.
One owner, one team
Claims are enforced league-wide — a member releases their team before switching — so nobody quietly ends up running half the league.
It all merges on import
When you finally connect the console, the franchise import adopts the teams you set up and keeps every owner's claim — your pre-season work carries straight into the real season.
No card, no console, no wait
The whole setup is free and needs nothing but the app — start the league now, connect the game whenever your franchise is live.
Don't wait on the game to build your league
Every other tool makes you connect your franchise before you can do anything — so leagues stall in the gap between "we're starting a league" and "the franchise is live." FranchiseHuddle lets you stand the whole thing up first: teams in, owners claiming, a preseason tournament running. The hype starts the day you decide to play, not the day the export works.
Everything you build carries over
Set up teams and let owners claim them now, and none of it is throwaway. The moment you connect the console, the import folds your teams into the real franchise and keeps every claim intact — the bracket you ran and the owners you lined up are still yours. Set up once; play forever.
Your league is two minutes from running itself.
