Here Comes Tout Wars Champions League 2026!

Mark the time: March 19, 2026 at 8 PM.

Hold onto your hats. A new league, and 12 Tout Wars champions vie for the ultimate prize.

The Champions League is a simple idea. Let’s take the legends of the industry and create one single league to help us crown a champion of fantasy baseball, in a way that is relatable to the everyday player.

We play:

A 12-team redraft league with daily transactions in an H2H categories league with playoffs in September.

Tout Wars wants the Champions League to be a central place for all fantasy players to focus their attention on major trends and players all season long, while the best fantasy players battle for the trophy and the title, Champion of Champions.

Head-to-head play has become the most popular fantasy baseball format, with 12-team play being the most popular size. With Tout’s recent champions and most-lauded veterans working the waiver wires and facilitating trades, we hope to give every fantasy player a relatable and easily followed grand championship game all season long.

Join us Thursday night at Fantrax for the Champion’s League inaugural draft!

The draft will be covered live on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports from 8-11 PM ET co-hosted by Todd Zola, Steve Phillips and Justin Fensterman
