Are you still riding high over that fantasy football trophy, so much so that you still feel the itch to keep playing? Was your season so disappointing that you're already looking for redemption? Or maybe your fantasy basketball and hockey teams are already heading for the consolation bracket, so it's time for a new challenge?
Well, we have good news: Yahoo Fantasy Baseball is officially LIVE for the 2025 season!
We know many of you have been waiting to make your fantasy baseball plans as the start of the MLB season gets closer. Well, the wait is over — sign up today!
Everything you love is back for the 2024 version of our game. But even if you're new to fantasy baseball and/or need a refresher on how to play, we have you covered.
Yahoo Fantasy will help you get ready to draft with advice from some of the best analysts in the business, including Andy Behrens, Dalton Del Don and Scott Pianowski.

We've also got some new features to our fantasy baseball game that we know you'll be excited to learn about:
Draft Now With Friends! Ever had a few friends who wanted to play but not enough to fill a fantasy baseball league? Well, now you can instantly invite up to three people to join you in a free public league. All you have to do is enter a free public draft room and tap the "Add Friends Pre-Draft" button to invite people to join your draft! (This feature is currently only for public leagues.)
Start Active Players! Want to lessen the load of having to meticulously set your fantasy baseball lineup, day in and day out? With the tap of a button on the web or from the Yahoo Fantasy app, the free Start Active Players feature will set your lineup for you, filling your lineup with healthy players who have a game on that specific day/week and benching those who are off and/or injured. Fantasy Plus subscribers get access to Start Optimal Players, which fills your lineup with players who have the best rank. And don't worry, using this feature from the home screen can set your lineup across multiple fantasy baseball leagues instead of just one, if you so choose.
Another change to fantasy baseball this season is that the default scoring in all newly created leagues will be head-to-head points. This will be the standard across all new leagues, but private-league commissioners can change their scoring settings if they so choose while those in public leagues will also have head-to-head category and rotisserie scoring as options as well.
Amped to build some teams? You can practice with a mock draft to get ready for the real thing. You can also start prepping with our 2025 fantasy baseball rankings. And that's just the beginning of our draft content. We will be delivering all kinds of advice leading up to the season, showcasing this season's breakouts, sleepers, busts, draft strategies to consider, bold predictions and much more.
Once the first pitch is thrown, we’ll keep you up to speed all season long with waiver wire advice, trades to pull off, prospects to stash and more so you can stay ahead of the competition on your journey toward that coveted fantasy baseball trophy!
And be sure to follow us on X and Instagram for ongoing fantasy tips all season long.
Now go sign up for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball to start prepping for the 2025 season. Good luck!
