News related to:Loserball · 1 min read
Loserball, the reverse fantasy football game that rewards players when the worst happens on the field, has returned for the 2026 NFL season. With a free-to-play model and $1,000 in prizes every week, the game offers a fresh twist on traditional fantasy football.
Loserball challenges players to predict the most disastrous performances by NFL teams and players. Instead of drafting superstars, participants select categories that highlight failures such as bad quarterback performances, turnovers, and missed kicks. The game promises a season-long contest running through the NFL playoffs, giving players a chance to win big when things go wrong.
"We think there’s just as much skill and a lot more fun in recognizing impending disaster," said Jonathan Gruber, Founder and CEO of Loserball. Behind the game’s deliberately ridiculous premise, Loserball boasts a seriously experienced team, including Rick Wolf, FSGA founding board member and two-time Fantasy Sports Hall of Fame inductee; Ed Moed, CEO of Hot Paper Lantern; and acclaimed advertising creative Ari Merkin. Wolf is also a co-founder of National Fantasy Football Draft Day.
The game has already garnered recognition across the sports and gaming industries. Loserball has been featured in the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association pitch competition and ICE Barcelona. Its coverage has also appeared in Yahoo Sports, Action Network, and Gaming Today.
For those who prefer to root for the underdog, Loserball offers a unique and entertaining way to engage with the NFL. Every week brings a fresh slate, and players can compete for weekly prizes, set up private leagues, and root for utter catastrophe on every down.
"Traditional fantasy football asks you to predict greatness," Gruber continued. "Loserball flips that script and provides a platform for fun and skillful prediction of the worst performances."
With its free-to-play model and weekly contests, Loserball is offering a new way to enjoy football. Fans can visit Loserball.com to get started. Stay Terrible. #playloserball.
