How fantasy boxing works

1. Pick a card

Every fight night that Fantasy Fight League covers appears on your schedule as a card. A card is the full bill — the main event plus every undercard bout the promoter has announced. You do not pick one fight and stop; the game is scored across the whole card, so the undercard matters as much as the headline.

Cards appear as soon as they are published, and each one shows its venue, its broadcaster and how long you have left before picks lock.

2. Call each fight

For every bout you answer up to four questions. Each one is worth points on its own, and each one is optional except the first — but an incomplete pick leaves points on the table.

1. Who wins. Pick the red or blue corner. Get this wrong and the bout scores you nothing at all, no matter what else you called correctly.
2. How it ends. KO/TKO or decision. This is the second-biggest component, and it is also odds-weighted.
3. Which round, if you called a stoppage. Every round in the scheduled distance is selectable.
4. How the judges score it, if you called a decision — unanimous, split or majority.

As you pick, the editor shows the maximum the bout can pay you, so you can see immediately whether a bold call is worth making.

3. Watch the window

Predictions do not stay open forever. The window opens one week before the first bell and closes two hours before it. FFL Pro members get a later cutoff and can keep editing until thirty minutes before the first bell, which matters when a fighter misses weight or an undercard bout is pulled on the day.

Everything is measured against the start of the card — the first undercard bell, not the main event — so a main event that walks at midnight still locks off the same schedule as the rest of the bill.

4. Score against the odds

This is what separates it from a pick-'em pool. Your winner and method picks are multiplied by that fighter's real market odds. Backing a short-priced favourite is worth very little. Backing a genuine underdog and landing it is worth a great deal.

The round and decision-type bonuses are flat rather than odds-weighted, and the round bonus scales with the scheduled distance — calling the exact round of a twelve-rounder pays more than calling it in a six.

The full scoring breakdown has every number, including the near-miss bonuses for being one or two rounds out.

5. Climb the table

Points accumulate into a lifetime score that ranks you on the global leaderboard, across more than eighty tiers running from Newbie up to GOAT. Your score only ever goes up — it is a record of how well you read fights, not a balance.

Separately, you earn $KO, the reward currency you spend in the store on titles and avatar frames. Buying cosmetics reduces your $KO but never touches your score or your ranking.

6. Settle it in a league

Leagues are where most people actually play. You can join an open league or create a private one, password-protect it and invite your group. Leagues run in seasons over a chosen set of cards, so a league can show both a live season table and an all-time table without one destroying the other.

You do not have to pick twice: your global picks are mirrored automatically into every league you have joined, unless you have deliberately made a different pick inside that league. More on how leagues work.

What it costs

Nothing. Fantasy Fight League is free to play and you start with 100 $KO. There is no cash stake and no cash prize — odds are used purely to weight scoring, and the game is not a betting product.
