Different sports. The same ambition.

Think like a general manager.

You build the team behind the team. Every roster move shapes what happens next.

  1. 01

    Take over a club

    Choose a team and inherit its roster. Decide what to keep, what to change, and where to take it.

  2. 02

    Build your contender

    Scout the draft, negotiate contracts, and work the trade market. Balance today’s needs with tomorrow’s team.

  3. 03

    Own the next season

    Watch your decisions play out, adapt your plans, and come back for another run at a championship.

It’s your front office. The owner still expects results.

Before your first season

Know the game plan.

What kind of games are these?

Sports management games you play in your browser. You run a club’s front office: building the roster, making trades, managing contracts, and progressing through simulated seasons.

Are the teams and players real?

The default leagues use fictional teams and players. Baseball also supports custom roster files, available in its league setup.

How do saves and accounts work?

Baseball saves in this browser, with no account required. Export a .gmseat file from the game to back up your league or move it to another browser.

Football saves with its own account system. Sign in to protect your league and return on another device. Leagues are separate between sports.

Already played football on Draftanomics?

Open Football here and sign in with your existing account to find your leagues. If you played as a guest, open the original game in the same browser to protect your save first, or use your existing recovery code. Your saved progress stays with the same football service.

Where can I learn how to play?

The baseball guide covers running your club. The football help page explains getting started, accounts, and finding a saved league.
