Primary date: Sunday, September 6, 2026 — afternoon (time TBD once we\'re at 10 managers). Labor Day weekend, three days after the final preseason game, three days before regular-season kickoff.
Backup: Saturday, September 5, 2026.
Format: Yahoo online snake draft, 15 rounds. Everyone joins the Yahoo draft room at the scheduled time. Auto-pick runs for anyone who can\'t make it, but live-drafting is the whole point.
Draft position: randomized by Yahoo at draft-room open, standard snake reversal each round.
