When is fantasy football season?

When managing a fantasy football team, there's news all year round, but you really want to start paying attention during training camp, which is around the beginning of August. That's when teams really start drafting their league. That's when fantasy football leagues tend to start. I think it's best, though, to draft your fantasy football team and your league as close to the regular season start as possible. That's because there are a lot of injuries during training camp and lots of things change. You might as well have all the information you can and do it right near week one. Usually that's the first week of September, right around Labor Day - probably the week after Labor Day - and you want to draft as close to that as possible. The weekend is often the best time. I would say our prime fantasy football season, in terms of when most people want the most help, is the last couple weeks of August and the first week of September. Then it continues all the way thorough the end of the football season, which goes about until the end of December. You start all the way in August and you go all the way to the end of December. Once it's real NFL Play-off season, fantasy football season is over.
