Below are some of the new features and enhancements in FanDraft. We are constantly making updates and improvements, so this list will continue to grow.

2026

Features & Improvements

• End of Round Summary Automatically displays a full-screen highlight at the end of each round, calling out the Best Pick and Worst Pick. Fully customizable by the commissioner, it can pause the draft for maximum chaos, auto-dismiss to keep things moving, or be turned off entirely — all designed to add energy without slowing the draft down

• Take a Draft Break: This can be found under the “Commissioner Tools” icon for non-auction leagues. This allows commish to create an intermission and pause the draft, in case there’s a desire for the league to take a break at any point.

• Added option to fade walk-up songs out after 15, 30, or 45 seconds: Users who utilize this preference, there are options for 15, 30, or 45 seconds.

• Added ability to customize “Pick is in…” sound effect If you utilize the “Pick Is In” feature during your draft, you can now customize the sound effect that plays during that action.

• Tightened up the pausing of walk-up songs playing while a Voice Announcer is speaking: Improved the pausing of walk-up song music, for when Voice Announcer is talking.

• Auction Voice Announcer Now announces when a player has been nominated for auction drafts.

• Auction Team Songs Only during Nomination: By default, now walk-up songs only play during the nomination process, and stop during bidding. There is an option for users to override this should they like

• Clock Extension Improvement Clock extensions now add times to the remaining time on the clock, instead of resetting to the clock extension time

• View Only Mode If you want to allow remote owners to only see the draft board, and not make selections on behalf of themselves, this disables the ability for them to do so.
