Draftstars Daily Fantasy Soccer Returns – Just in Time for the World Cup!

We’re back.

After a short break, Draftstars Daily Fantasy Soccer is officially returning — and the timing couldn’t be better. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup just around the corner, the world’s biggest stage is about to deliver non-stop drama, star-studded squads, and unforgettable moments.
That means one thing for fantasy managers: it’s time to dust off your drafting skills and get ready for the ultimate test of soccer knowledge.

To make the Draftstars game sharper and fairer heading into this tournament, we’ve made a couple of small but important updates to our scoring system:

• Penalty Saves have been removed from Goalkeepers’ scoring. Normal GK saves remain.
• Penalty Miss and Penalty Conceded have been removed from outfield players’ scoring.

These adjustments streamline the scoring and reduce the impact of high-variance, low-frequency events, giving more consistent weight to overall performance across the 90 minutes.
The core fantasy experience you love — building line-ups, chasing big scores, and competing for CASH prize pools — remains the same.


This World Cup return is only the beginning. We’re actively working on expanding Draftstars Daily Fantasy Football into more of the world’s biggest competitions. Watch out for the EPL as they reach the end of their league campaign. We have plans to roll out additional leagues/cups in the coming months. More tournaments. More matches. More opportunities to win.

Whether you’re a seasoned Draftstars veteran or jumping in for the first time, now is the perfect moment to get involved. The upcoming World Cup will deliver wall-to-wall football, there’s never been a better time to play. Keep an eye on the lobby for contests and get ready to compete for cash prizes with Draftstars.
We’ll see you on the leaderboards.
