What's New
New features, improvements, and updates to the AFL.
October 2026

Put your Sunday on the TV

Schefter now reports every move
The Transactions page leads with Claude Schefter's take on each pickup, cut and trade this season. Tap See details for MFL's official record.

See exactly where every point came from
Live Scoring now breaks each player's score down stat by stat. Tap a player in any matchup and a sheet shows his passing, rushing, receiving and kicking line with the points each one earned under your league's own scoring rules, adding up to the official total.
September 2026

Rosters open in your team's colours
The roster page leads with your club now — its colour, its crest, your record, rank and points — then last week's result, this week's game and every week of the season as a row you can click straight into the schedule. One header, both leagues.

Front Office is now your Keeper Planner's home
Drag your 7 keepers above the line and everyone else gets cut when you finalize — right on the page Front Office now opens to, with Rosters, Trade Builder and the Keeper Report Card one click away.

One Article a Week, and a Place to Look Things Up
What's New stops arriving daily. From now on it's one roundup every Monday — features first, fixes under them, a line each — and the how-to for anything new lives on its own page in Guides.

Your Homepage Feed Finally Has The Whole Desk In It
The Schefter Report column on the homepage used to hide every move that wasn't yours. Now the first tab — renamed My News — carries the whole beat: every claim, every add, every drop, whoever made it, plus the group chat. The All tab is where the NFL wire and the draft coverage live.

Who Got Picked Up? Now There's One Place To Look
Every signing, waiver claim and free agent pickup in the league, on one page, grouped by day. Filter by team, by player, by week, or down to just your own moves — and if you want to know what happened in 2011, that is a click away too.

Sunday Finally Shows Up On The Homepage
On Sunday afternoons the AFL homepage now leads with the scoreboard — your game across the top with both crests and a running total, and the closest games in your conference stacked underneath. It refreshes itself every minute, so the number you are staring at is the number that is actually happening.
Weekly Fixes & Polish (Aug 25-Sep 8)
101 bug fixes and style improvements across free agents, schefter report, navigation & routing, design system & theming, and more.

The Homepage Knows Whose Draft It Is
The AFL homepage used to run every announcement through the same card. Now the moments that matter get a look of their own — trophy gold through the keeper window, deep navy for the drafts, and urgent red on the day itself. Each conference names its own draft in six-inch letters, so you never have to squint at the fine print to work out whether it is your Saturday or somebody else's Sunday. And when your conference rosters the player on the card, the glow behind him turns your colors.

Everybody Starts On League Time Now
The clock the site opens on used to be Eastern — a leftover from the Sunday Ticket board, and the wrong first clock for a league that mostly lives on the west coast. It is US / PT now, which is the time this league has always actually run on. If you are somewhere else, take ten seconds and tell it: name your zone once and every deadline on the site prints in yours, with league time beside it.

Every Game Now Tells You Where To Watch It
The NFL games rail on Live Scoring and the opponent line on Set Lineup now carry the network's logo — CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, Prime Video, NFL Network — and they carry YOUR network, not America's. Tell us you're in Canada and the same game says DAZN. Australia, Kayo. It reads the country you already set on your preferences page, so most of you had to do nothing at all.

Your Settings Moved In Under Your Team Name
Tap the chevron next to your team name at the bottom of the menu and you get an account drawer: your clock, your alerts, commissioner mode if you have it, and a sign-out that actually exists. The Preferences row prints the clock you're currently on, so you can tell at a glance whether the site is doing your arithmetic or still handing you Pacific. Notifications and Preferences have left the top of the drawer to live here instead.

Sunday Ticket Stopped Clocking Out At Kickoff
The multiview board now keeps going once the games start: every player on it shows his live fantasy points instead of a projection, and your own matchup sits up top with both crests and both scores — in every league you play in, on one page.

Schefter Finally Learned Which Team Is Yours
The Schefter Report on your homepage now opens on a For You tab: your roster, your watch list, your franchise, your deadlines. The full league feed is still one tap away on All — it just isn't the first thing you see anymore.

Put Us on Your Home Screen
Install the site as an app and it stops being a tab you remember to check. On iPhone and desktop the icon carries a number when a trade offer is waiting, when your lineup is broken, or when a ballot is open; on Android it gets a dot instead, because Android does not let a web app set the count. Long-press it to jump straight to your lineup. And if you're on an iPhone, this is the part nobody told you: notifications have never worked in Safari, and they never will — the Home Screen is the only way in.

Roger Takes the Nagging to Your Phone
Deadline reminders move to your phone. The group chat keeps the trade talk — and now only carries a deadline for the owners we couldn't reach, tagged by name. Turn notifications on and you stop being one of them.

Wait — So Do I Still Use MyFantasyLeague?
Short answer: yes. MFL still runs the league and isn't going anywhere. The new FAQ lays out exactly which site does what, why both exist, and — the part worth reading — how an idea you post here turns into something that actually gets built.

The AFL Gets a Suggestion Box
The Board — post an idea, the league argues about it, the Commissioner rules on it — is now open in the AFL, with its own ideas, its own comments, and its own everything. It starts empty, so somebody gets to be first.

Who's on the App, and Who's Still Living in a Tab
Owner Activity now knows whether a visit came from the site installed on a home screen or from an ordinary browser tab — with the platform behind it, an app-versus-browser share for the league, and a note on each owner's row saying which one they showed up on last.

The Guy You Want Already Belongs to Somebody
Tap a rostered player anywhere on the site and the modal now offers a handshake: Trade for him. It drops you into the Trade Builder with his owner on one side, him already in the deal, and you on the other — no team picker, no scrolling a roster to find the name you were just looking at.

Twenty-Four Teams. One Ballot. Your Call.
The Owners' Poll comes to the AFL. Every Tuesday The Pecking Order ranks all 24 by the numbers; now you rank your top 10 — your own team included, if you think you belong there — and the room's answer runs in Thursday's column right beside the machine's.

Your Clock Now Follows You Off the Sunday Ticket Board
The country and clock you set on Preferences used to steer exactly one page. Now the draft's start time, the waiver window, the ballot deadline and the mock-draft lobby all read in your clock with the league's PT beside it — and Preferences has moved into the nav so you can actually find it.

Sunday Ticket Now Speaks British and Mexican
The Sunday Ticket board now has a United Kingdom and a Mexico view alongside the US, Canada and Australia — kickoffs in London and Mexico City clocks, and every game badged with the channel that actually carries it there: Sky Sports, Channel 5, FOX México, ESPN México, TUDN and NFL Game Pass, marks and all.

Pick The Clock You Actually Live In.
Preferences is a new page: pick the country whose channels you see and the one time zone you live in. Every kickoff on Sunday Ticket prints in your clock, with Pacific — the clock lineup locks and auction windows run on — beside it. Signed in, it follows you to your phone.

Claim Him From Wherever You Found Him
The Bid / Claim button has left the Free Agents table and moved into the player card — so any free agent you turn up anywhere on the site, on any page, can be added right there, next to Watch.

Bid, Claim, Watch. One Tap, No Scrolling.
On Free Agents the Bid or Claim button now sits right beside the player's name, and the ⋮ menu has grown a Bid / Claim option of its own — so on a phone you can file a claim, or start watching a guy, without scrolling the table sideways to find the button.

The Handshake Now Knows More Than One Thing
That handshake in the corner used to have exactly one job: tell you somebody offered you a trade. It now opens a Transaction Hub — trade offers and the waiver claims you have filed, plus, in a league that runs a priority order, your live spot in it. A number on the handshake still means somebody is waiting on you. A quiet dot means there is something in there worth a look.

Keep An Eye On Him. Literally.
My Watch List is live, and it is the same list MFL keeps under your name. Watch anyone from a roster, the free-agent pool, or your rankings board, and every Schefter post about him lights up — with a Watching tab to see nothing else, and a push alert if you want one.

The Hardware Went Home With The Owners
AFL owner pages now wear the league's actual trophies — AFL Champion, the AL and NL crowns, every division badge, the NIT, Premier League and D-League — and for the first time that includes the titles won by owners who left before 2016, which the record had been quietly filing under nobody.

The AFL Can Finally Find Its Own Stuff
There are 42 pages on the AFL site and, until today, exactly one way to reach most of them: remember they exist. The magnifying glass in the header now opens a searchable index of every one — type "bracket", "keeper", "who owns" and it surfaces.

The AFL Mock Draft Knows Who You Kept
Nine rounds against the clock, drafting from the players your conference actually left unkept — not a generic board, not last year's names. It opens when the keeper cuts land in July and closes when the real draft starts, because those are the only weeks it tells you anything true.

Four Boxes, Two Windows, Every League You're In
Sunday Ticket gives you four boxes per window and no opinion about which games belong in them. The new Sunday Ticket page has one: the games with the most of your starters on the field, ranked, with the real network on each, RedZone in any open box — and it counts your other leagues too.

Fourteen Ways To Be Told, And You Pick
The group chat now gets one automated post a day. Everything else moved to your phone — trade offers, a broken lineup before kickoff, injuries to your guys, the rumor mill, your final score. Fourteen alert types, four groups, four on by default, and every single one is a switch you own.

Your Tip Now Tells You How It Ended
Send a tip and it either turns into a rumor or it doesn't — and until now, "doesn't" looked exactly like a broken tip line. Your record card on the tip page now carries a receipt for your last tip: it ran, it got spiked, or it aged out.

The AFL Gets A Draft Room, Twice
A live board for your conference's draft — the picks as they land, who's on the clock, the pool, your queue and the room chat. It opens on YOUR conference, because the AL and the NL are two different drafts that happen to share a season, and the last thing an NL owner needs on draft weekend is a screen full of the AL's picks.

Know Where You Are In Line
The AFL runs rolling waiver priority, which means every claim you file is really a bet on how many teams pick before you do. That number was on MyFantasyLeague and nowhere else. Now it's a button on Free Agents — your conference's order, live, with your team outlined and everyone ahead of you named.

The Last Trip To MFL, Cancelled
Land on Free Agents without signing in and the acquire button used to fling you at MyFantasyLeague in a new tab, which is a strange thing for a site built to replace MyFantasyLeague to do. Now it opens a sign-in right there, and drops you back on the same page — on the same player — ready to bid.

Every Draft We've Ever Held
The draft tools have been scattered across the menu for years, each one unaware the others existed. There is now a front door at /draft that ties them together — and behind it, every draft either league has ever held, pick by pick, back to the startup drafts nobody has been able to look at since the day they happened.

The AFL Gets a Throwback Week
On NFL Week 8, all 24 AFL franchises drop their current look and wear a legacy one — old name, old crest, old banner, old colors — across live scoring, matchups and Set Lineup. A hundred and seventeen eras going back to 2003 are on the table, and you pick which one is yours.

Your Waiver Claims, On Your Own Site
File a claim and it used to vanish into MyFantasyLeague until Monday night told you how it went. Now the claims you have pending sit at the top of Free Agents in the order they'll be awarded, and you can change who you're dropping or scrap one entirely without leaving.

The Hero Wears Your Colors
Sign in and the big card at the top of the homepage stops being league furniture and starts being yours — your franchise's gradient behind it, your crest sitting dead center, the headline and the player still riding over the top. It's the draft broadcast's reveal treatment, brought home.

Last Seen Now Knows When You Were On MFL
The Owner Activity page used to know one thing about you: whether you had loaded a page on this site. It now also knows when you last logged into MFL — an actual timestamp, straight from MFL — and ranks everybody by whichever happened more recently. Owners who live inside MFL and rarely come here stop showing up as ghosts.
August 2026

Ten Quiet Minutes And The Big Board Starts Talking To Itself
An email draft can leave one crest on the TV for six hours. Now, after ten minutes with nothing picked, the board runs a highlight cycle — the roster of whoever is on the clock, then the team on deck, then every position that is off the board, then the whole draft replayed from 1.01. The second somebody actually picks, it drops everything and cuts to the live reveal.

The Room Can Now See Exactly How Long You've Been Thinking
The big board told the room who was on the clock and said it in precisely the same way at eight seconds and at eight minutes. It now counts up from the last pick, so everybody watching the TV knows exactly how long a man has been sitting there.

Your Board, On The Actual Draft Board
The rankings board now talks to MFL. Build your order here, hit push, and it becomes the My Draft List your draft room reads off — the same list that sits there at 3am when the clock is running and you are not awake to defend yourself.

Put The Draft On The Big Screen
Plug a laptop into the TV and let the room watch the draft happen. Every pick made in MFL lands on screen seconds later — the player, his new team's colors and crest, and exactly how far down the board he was when somebody grabbed him.

The Free Agent Who Wasn't
Tick "Include rostered" on Free Agents, open Josh Allen, and the card called him a free agent — a man under contract at $9M who has been on somebody's roster since the draft. A rostered player's card now wears the team that holds him, and says whose it is.

Your Division Is Not As Tough As You Think
Nick asked for a Strength of Division report and here it is, for both leagues, back to the first season on file. Every division's record by year and all-time, a division-vs-division grid, every team that has ever sat in each one — and the part that actually settles arguments: a ranking of the lineups themselves, not the names on them.

Putting Names to the Ghosts
Owners launched with eighty-five people on it who had no names — MFL never stored one for most tenures before about 2016, so their pages were headed by a team name and a blank where a person should be. Sixty-four of those blanks are now filled, including every owner who ever won a championship.

340 Seasons Just Got Their Owners Back
Every franchise page only ever showed you the current owner's work — which meant 340 franchise-seasons across the two leagues, 14 championships and 73 division titles among them, lived on no page at all. Owners is a page for every person who has ever run a team here, current and former, with the full record they actually earned.
The Schedule Builder Learned What It Was Getting Wrong
A rebuild let the scheduler place each rivalry game in a week that suits those two rosters instead of forcing everyone into the same weeks. Then it produced a season with zero division games on bye weeks and a division race that ended in Week 4 — so a new rule went in, and the schedule you already have turns out to have been right.
Weekly Fixes & Polish (Aug 18-24)
21 bug fixes and style improvements across calendar, live scoring, import rankings, rosters, and more.

The Schedule Is Graded Now, Not Just Explained
The scheduling rules are goals now — ranked, and scored against the season they actually produced. Every release page shows how that year did on each one, because the NFL moves the bye calendar and the same goal is easy one year and impossible the next. Plus a new goal for 2027.

Your Crest, Not Cleveland's
Open a player from your roster and the modal header now wears the franchise that owns him — your colors in the gradient, your crest behind the headshot, instead of a wall of his NFL team's paint. The contract sheet picks up the same header, and on Throwback Week the whole thing goes vintage.

The Schedule Now Shows Its Work
Schedule Release Day used to tell you how many division games dodged the NFL byes and stop there. It now tells you how many did NOT, what percentage that is, and how many of those the format left no way to avoid — plus the ten rules the draw had to satisfy, in the order they beat each other.

Schefter Learned to Point at Things
Every Schefter column now links to the page it's about, and works in the tool that answers whatever question the paragraph just raised. His schedule release article somehow never linked to the schedule release page. That's fixed, and so is the reason it happened.
The Scheduler Now Knows Who Is Actually Missing
Next year’s schedule is built against your projected starting nine instead of your whole roster, and it actively hunts for weeks where neither side of a rivalry game is missing anyone. Replayed on 2026 it cuts missing starters in division games by nearly a third.

Both Halves of a Double-Header, Finally
On a week where you play twice, Set Lineup now shows both games instead of one — and both leagues' lineup pages carry the matchup panel. Swipe between games on your phone, click the arrows on a laptop, and watch your projected total move on every card at once.

Schedule Release Day Is a Real Day Now
Both leagues get an annual Schedule Release Day — a countdown page that hits zero, locks one schedule for everybody, and puts four games on the board worth circling, rivalry records and all. Same draw for every owner, no reshuffles.

The Dead Tile on Your Team Card Finally Says Something
"Keepers — of 7 protected" has been sitting blank on the AFL homepage since the day it shipped, because there was never a number to put there. It's gone. In its place: your earned round-1 draft slot until the conference drafts wrap, then your last trophy for the rest of the year. The roster count next to it is finally counting this year's team, too.

Your Draft Board, Already Built
Import Rankings now arrives with six ranking sources already loaded and weighted — no bookmarklets, no setup, nothing to click. Tune the mix to taste with a weight you set as a percentage, and every league keeps a board of its own.

Your Bench Is on the Board Now
Open any matchup on Live Scoring and there's a Bench drawer under your nine starters — every guy you left out, his real points, his real game clock. Collapsed by default, because some Sundays you don't want to know.

Your Board Follows You to the Lineup Sheet
Every starter and every bench player now carries your rank, right on the lineup screen — and when you open a slot, each eligible replacement does too. Free Agents and Rosters carry the board as well, and you can re-weight it without leaving the page.

The AFL Gets a Real Scoreboard
All twenty-four franchises, both of your games, live on one page — with real NFL box-score lines under every starter, the actual game clock, red-zone alerts and a scoring-play ticker. No more refreshing MFL's message board on a Sunday.

Every Player Card Now Reads You In
Tap a player anywhere on the site and the modal now opens with his latest ESPN headlines sitting right under the numbers — why the usage spiked, what camp is saying, whether the beat writers think the job is his. No more bouncing to another tab to find out what the box score was hinting at.

The Pecking Order Explains Itself
The column doesn't publish again until the Tuesday after Week 1, so its page spent the preseason showing last season's rankings with nothing to say they were last season's. It now opens with what the column actually is — the formula, the awards, the date the first real issue lands — and stamps the issue underneath it as a sample.

Weekly Fixes & Polish (Aug 11-18)
35 bug fixes and style improvements across other, rankings, schefter report, homepage, and more.
The 2017 Trophy Nobody Was Holding: the AFL Cup Comes Back, and Smokane FC Gets It
2017's all-play season was the last AFL Cup — not the "Founders Table" we made up for it — and it ended in week 16, not 17. That one week moves the title to Smokane FC.

Twenty-Two Seasons of Extremes, Finally Countable
The AFL Record Book is live — highest scores, biggest blowouts, closest finishes, longest streaks and the most-played rivalries, drawn from all 5,333 games the league has ever played.

The Pecking Order Comes to the AFL
Claude Schefter's Tuesday-morning column now runs in the AFL too — all 24 franchises ranked 1 through 24, with trend arrows, five weekly awards, and a conference-by-conference standings snapshot. Half your all-play record, half your last three weeks, and not one ounce of credit for the schedule doing you a favor.

Roger Can Be Wrong. Now You Can Say So Without Deleting the Question.
Every Ask Roger card gets a “This answer looks wrong” button. Report it, say why, and the commissioner sees it — the question stays right where it is.

Twenty-Three Years of Grudges, Finally Written Down
AFL franchise pages now carry an all-time record, single-game highlights, a top-five rivals list and a full trade ledger — plus a brand-new rivalry matrix showing what every franchise has done to every other one since 2004.

Justice Is Served: Thundering Herd Is Dead, Long Live "A Bruin Pegs Me"
Two titles, three conference crowns, and a proud dynasty — none of it matters when you finish dead last in the D-League. Franchise 0014 has been served its punitive rename, and the record books already know it.
The Record Books Get an Audit: 22 Division Titles Restored to Their Rightful Owners
Historical AFL division titles were being computed with a homebrew tiebreaker instead of the constitution. MFL's official standings are now the source of truth — and 22 banners just changed hands, from 2004 all the way to last season.

Weekly Fixes & Polish (Aug 8-10)
13 bug fixes and style improvements across keeper report card, awards & trophies, rosters, free agents, and more.

The Footer Grew a Trophy Case
Every page now ends on the defending champion — banner art, trophy badges, and a ribbon that knows the difference between a Double and a Treble — over a five-column directory that finally admits the whole site exists.

The Keeper Report Card: Hindsight Is Undefeated
A new Claude Schefter report grades every AFL keeper class by the only judge that matters — what actually happened. Your 2024 roster re-ranked by 2025 points, the seven you should have kept highlighted, and every hit, miss, and the-one-that-got-away called out by name. A keeper is worth the points he scored in the games you could have started him — backups count a fraction — so the grade is about the call you made, not the roster you inherited. Flip to 2026 to see this year's classes waiting for kickoff.

The AFL Franchise Page Finally Read Its Own Record Book
The franchises page graduates from a name tag and a trophy count to the full career ledger — all-time records, seasons served, career points, and a rack of title pills for every club — sorted into proper American League and National League sections. Twenty-three years of receipts, one page.

AFL Free Agents: Your Conference, Your Board
The free agent page now opens straight onto YOUR conference — every player listed is someone your team can actually add — with an AL/NL switcher in the header for scouting across the aisle. No more squinting at a guy the other conference already rosters.
July 2026

Weekly Fixes & Polish (Jul 15-21)
12 bug fixes and style improvements across design system & theming, rosters, navigation & routing, schefter report, and more.

The Rumor Mill Learns Some New Tricks
New NFL-insider topic lanes (hot seat, tampering, draft intentions), instant codename reveal, a 60-second undo, and in-form whisper-backs — the tip line just got a front-office upgrade in both leagues.

The AFL Rumor Mill Is Open: Tip Schefter Anonymously
The beat desk's worst-kept secret weapon is now open for AFL business. Drop an anonymous tip — trade whispers, keeper intel, relegation panic, tampering chatter — and Schefter turns it into insider news. Nobody sees what you actually wrote. Not even the commish.

The Gauntlet Comes to the AFL
Claude Schefter’s new weekly schedule-strength column now covers all 24 AFL squads — who has the cushiest run-in, who’s walking into a buzz saw, and whose record is a work of fiction.

The Trade Block Comes to the AFL Trade Builder
Players flagged on the trade block now show up right inside the AFL Trade Builder — see who is shopping, then start the trade in one click.
Weekly Fixes & Polish (Jul 6-14)
16 bug fixes and style improvements across keeper-planner, rosters, design system & theming, homepage, and more.

Schefter's Links Finally Dress for the Group Chat
When Schefter drops a story link in GroupMe, the preview under it is no longer a shrug — every post now unfurls with its own breaking-news card: the featured player's cutout over his team's colors, the headline, and a BREAKING NEWS badge doing the yelling.

New Features Now Play Themselves
The homepage hero stopped casting random rookies to pose next to announcements. New features now star in their own banner — a live screenshot in a browser frame that matches your theme — and a player only appears when the story is actually about him.

The AFL Hero Hired a Casting Director
The AFL homepage hero now stars an actual player instead of anonymous stock-photo decoration — your keeper cornerstone before the deadline, the best name on the draft board, a guy literally on the trade block — with a caption explaining why he made the poster.

The Front Door Got a Facelift
The landing page at MFL.football finally looks like it belongs to two proud leagues instead of a parked domain — full-color league banners, real logos, and a combined What's New feed from both sides of the house.

Lights Out: Dark Mode Is Here
The whole site now comes in dark mode — it follows your phone's setting automatically, or pick Light, Auto, or Dark yourself from the menu drawer. Your 11pm waiver-wire spiral no longer doubles as a tactical flashbang.

The Hall of Shame Is Now Official
Every AFL franchise page now carries a full Team Name History — every identity an owner has ever played under, across every franchise slot they've occupied — with the punitive last-place renames tagged with a skull. Jesus Killers, Vit's Brother, Cock Gobbler: your sins are now a matter of public record.
June 2026
Weekly Fixes & Polish (May 1-Jun 28)
37 bug fixes and style improvements across other, navigation & routing, homepage, rosters, and more.

Every AFL Franchise Gets a Trophy Room
AFL franchise pages now open with a four-tier trophy room — every AFL Championship, conference, division, NIT, tier, and old AFL Cup title since 2004, each badge stamped with the year it was won, and the ones you haven’t won faded out so everyone can see exactly what’s missing.

Your Trophy Wall Now Has a Checklist
The AFL franchise header gets a slim progress bar tracking the six title types you can win — AFL, Premier, Conference, Division, D-League, and NIT — lit up in brand gold for the ones you’ve got and greyed out for the ones you don’t. One glance tells you how close you are to a full set.

Who's Actually Showing Up — Now for the AFL
The Owner Activity page lands on the AFL: a leaderboard of who last logged in, a 30-day page-views chart with a line for every franchise, the pages everyone's actually clicking, and a season-long transaction tally. The 'I've been busy' excuse now comes with a timestamp.

One Hero, Every Day of the Season
The AFL homepage hero now wears the same branded look year-round — keeper crunch, draft weekend, live Sunday slates, waiver night, the offseason lull. One card, a rotating cast of players, and a gold border that means business.

Roger and Schefter Suit Up for AFL
Ask Roger now answers AFL rules questions in plain English, and Claude Schefter is filing transaction posts to the AFL GroupMe the moment a waiver clears. The AFL constitution stops being a thing you scroll through and starts being a thing you ask.
