WELCOME to AFL Fantasy dynasty leagues.<\/p>\n
Fantasy footy fans, get ready for the most authentic and immersive AFL Fantasy experience yet. Kicking off from the 2026 season, the new dynasty leagues format puts you in the boots of a real AFL list manager. Take full control of your team across seasons, build a premiership dynasty, and experience footy like never before.<\/p>\n
What sets dynasty leagues apart?<\/p>\n
This isn’t just a tweak \u2013 it’s a revolution! Unlike classic redraft and keeper leagues, dynasty gives you total squad retention year-on-year, mirroring the AFL’s own list management. Forget starting from scratch each season \u2013 your players stay with you each season, meaning every draft pick, trade, and selection matters for the long haul.<\/p>\n

How to get started<\/p>\n
Joining the dynasty revolution is simple. You can either create an entirely new dynasty league or convert your existing AFL Fantasy Draft league at rollover. Commissioners have the power to keep coaches, replace them, or even disperse a team to the player pool for a fresh start.<\/p>\n
New leagues: Select Dynasty League type at setup. Draft all positions \u2013 defenders, midfielders, rucks, forwards, flex, bench, and new reserve spots \u2013 right from the get go.
\nRegenerating leagues: Switch your current redraft or keeper league to dynasty during league rollover. Your entire squad is retained, with only rookies entering the draft.
\nSquad management: rollover and delistings<\/p>\n
At season rollover, your full squad returns, but it’s up to you to make the tough calls. Delistings are essential to free up space for new talent. Position changes are automatically sorted \u2013 players move to the bench if their new AFL Fantasy role doesn’t match their previous line-up spot. Injury and reserve players from the previous season are automatically moved to your bench as well-meaning you may need to delist some players to avoid being over the limit.<\/p>\n
