Editorial · no invented /go/
Claim controls for DraftKings, FanDuel, Underdog and Sleeper stay dead on this page until a real /go/ exists. PrizePicks is editorial only. Read the on-site review or promo page; confirm the live screen before you fund.
Best Ball drafts + Pick'em
Play $5, get $50 in Bonus Entries
Pick'em plus Best Ball. The only headline DFS offer we could verify on an official operator page in August 2026: play $5, get $50 in bonus entries, official code UDPROMO. Bonus entries are contest credits, not withdrawable cash — only their winnings are. Trackers report a 14-day expiry and state exclusions; confirm both in-app.
Salary-cap DFS, Showdown, Pick6
New-user first-deposit bonus
Salary-cap DFS, Showdown, and Pick6. The new-user offer rotates with the calendar, and NFL kickoff is the biggest window. We could not verify the live number against an official page in August 2026 — read the signup screen. Full product notes live on the DraftKings review.
Salary-cap DFS, Single-Game, FanDuel Faceoff
Welcome bonus + entry credits
Salary-cap, Single-Game, and FanDuel Faceoff / Picks. FanDuel blocked our August 2026 re-verification, so no live numbers here. The welcome package we last verified (June 2026) combined a deposit match and entry credits. If you are in a Picks state, treat any $5-for-$25-style offer as reported until you see it on the signup screen.
Pick'em + season-long leagues
Up to $100 deposit match
Pick'em plus season-long leagues. Official promo page was unavailable in August 2026; trackers consistently report a 100% first-deposit match up to $100 at 1x. A natural fit if your home league already lives on Sleeper. Recurring Picks promos are on the Sleeper board.
Pick'em · editorial only
Win-conditional $150 Bonus Lineups
We do not currently compare PrizePicks on this site and there is no /go/prizepicks. PrizePicks published a win-conditional new-user offer on its own site (verified August 8, 2026): deposit $5+ and enter a lineup; if that first lineup wins you receive $150 in Bonus Lineups, expiring in 7 days, under a window running July 20 through December 31, 2026. No win, no bonus.
Season dates match the NFL's published Week 1 schedule (same check as our NFL DFS Promos 2026 and NFL Prediction Markets 2026 guides). Have accounts registered and any KYC finished before Wednesday, September 9 — not on game night. Event-contract KYC is on the Week 1 checklist.
Kickoff Game
Wed, Sept 9, 2026
New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks, 8:20 p.m. ET at Lumen Field (NBC/Peacock/NFL+). A Super Bowl LX rematch against the defending-champion Seahawks — and the first Wednesday season opener since 2012.
Week 1 Main Slate
Sun, Sept 13, 2026
The main Sunday slate — the deepest pick'em and salary-cap board of the young season. Week 1 spans 16 games across four days, so there is a qualifying slate almost every night.
Week 1 Monday Night
Mon, Sept 14, 2026
Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs, 8:15 p.m. ET — the last chance to put Week 1 volume through a fresh signup or a newly funded event-contract account.
Start with the product you actually want. If that is pick'em or salary-cap DFS, read the operator card above, then the on-site promo or review page. The comparison homepage still lines the verified DFS offers up side by side. The seasonal offer write-up is NFL DFS Promos 2026.
If that is NFL event contracts, Polymarket is the live US on-ramp on this page — KYC, bank-linked funding, CFTC-regulated access in most states. Finish KYC before Wednesday, September 9 — the Patriots at Seahawks kickoff page is the Wednesday game URL, 49ers vs Rams in Melbourne is the Thursday game URL, the Week 1 Sunday slate is the Sunday card, and the NFL Week 1 checklist is the clock. The seasonal desk is NFL Prediction Markets 2026; the click-by-click onboarding is How to sign up for Polymarket (US 2026). We could not verify a standing official US welcome bonus on Polymarket's own terms.
Do not mix the two rulebooks. A DFS deposit-match rollover does not apply to an event contract, and an 18+ CFTC desk does not override a 21+ DFS gate in the states that use one.
