Fantasy sports in
5 minutes.
The brand new weekly fantasy sports platform where you play head-to-head and pick your lineup against the clock - all without the season-long commitment.
From zero to competing
in under 5 minutes
Get your pool
Invite a friend or get matched up. Each player receives a unique pool of players drawn from the week's ranked universe. Your pool is balanced against your opponent's — same quality, different players. No duplicate rosters, just like season-long lineups.
Build your roster in 5 minutes
Pick one player per position from your pool, keeping your roster at or below the salary cap. You can see your opponent's pool — but not their picks. Build before the 5-minute timer runs out.
Win or lose
Once rosters are locked, selections are revealed and real game stats decide the winner. No trades, no waivers, no waiting until January. Season-long fantasy style in a DFS format — the best of both worlds.
Play free or go premium
Free players get 5 games per week. Premium members get unlimited games, premium stats, an ad-free experience, and custom leagues. Either way, earn bragging rights, digital badges, merch, and weekly leaderboard status with your best 5 match finishes.
Fast, fun, social.
Fantasy sports for true head-to-head competition — not versus optimizers.
No optimizers
Traditional DFS is dominated by professional optimizers. Our visible pool metric is specifically designed to make them obsolete — new and experienced players compete on skill, not spreadsheets.
Head-to-head only
No massive pools where only the top 1% win. Every match is 1v1 — pure skill, pure fairness.
Transparent scoring
Every point is traceable. Live score updates from real player stats — no hidden formulas, no surprises.
Salary cap strategy
Every roster must fit under the salary cap. Stack stars and fill value picks from your 5 positions to outsmart your opponent.
Multi-sports
NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS — all in one app. Switch sports, switch lineups, compete year-round.
Challenges & rivalries
Challenge friends, track your rivalry record, and settle the debate week after week.
Responsible play
Built-in spend limits, session controls, and transparent rules. We take responsible gaming seriously.
Consistent gameplay
The easy-to-play format is the same for every sport. Learn it once, compete across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS without relearning the rules.

Your game, your lineup
The reaction so far
"I've played DFS for years and hated massive pools. This is just me vs one person. Way more fun."
"Set up a lineup in literally 4 minutes during halftime. Won. This is exactly what fantasy needed."
"Challenged my brother after the Chiefs game. Live scoring had us both glued to it. 10/10."
Frequently asked
Is 5MinFantasy free to play?
Yes — free indefinitely. Premium tiers unlock advanced stats, unlimited challenges, and ad-free experience.
How is scoring calculated?
Points come from real player performance: passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, TDs, turnovers, and more. Full scoring rules are in the app.
Can I play against friends?
Absolutely. Send a challenge link — they'll receive a notification and can accept before the lineup lock deadline.
What happens if a player is injured?
If a player is injured after you lock your roster, but before the game starts, you will automatically get subbed in the next best available player that was in your pool or an equivalent player (whichever keeps you below the cap).
