MOCKSLATE

Schedule Games

MockSlate Schedule Games are contests built around the NFL schedule itself — survive the season picking high-scoring games, draft broadcast slots before the schedule exists, and predict the primetime slate. Four games are free to enter and prize-eligible; six more come with MockSlate Pro.

Free games — prize-eligible, open to everyone

Pro games — glory, no prize

These six games are part of Pro — $12/year (founding rate for 2026) unlocks all of them, plus private friend leagues and advanced stats.

Slot Draft

Pro

Draft the schedule before it exists. You're not picking games — you're picking the marquee broadcast slots. Whatever the NFL puts there is yours.

Schedule Games FAQ

What are Schedule Games?

Contests built around the NFL schedule itself — not fantasy points. Survive the season picking high-scoring games, draft broadcast slots before the schedule exists, predict every team's primetime count, and more. They run across the whole football calendar.

Which games are free?

Schedule Survivor, Schedule Release Draft, Primetime Portfolio, and Schedule Props are completely free to enter and prize-eligible — no purchase necessary. Slot Draft, Over the Slate, Bye Board, Off the Map, Booth Call, and Flex Watch come with MockSlate Pro.

How do I win a prize?

Each of the four free games carries a $100 season prize, won through its public national leaderboard. Prizes only ever attach to the free games — entry never costs anything, and Pro perks never affect prize eligibility or odds.

What does Pro add?

Six exclusive games (Slot Draft, Over the Slate, Bye Board, Off the Map, Booth Call, and Flex Watch — leaderboard glory, no prizes), private friend leagues in Schedule Release Draft, multiple league memberships, in-draft history panels, and advanced stats. $12/year founding rate for 2026 (then $19/year).

When do entries open?

Booth Call opens first, in early January at final standings; Primetime Portfolio, Slot Draft, Schedule Props, and Bye Board open in February (Props posts its 20 lines then, and the draft board is already up); Schedule Survivor, Schedule Release Draft, and Over the Slate open at schedule release in May. Off the Map runs weekly during the season — join any week. Flex Watch is open as soon as the schedule is loaded — its questions lock one by one on the flex ladder, from late September through the Week 18 finale.

MockSlate's prize games are free-to-enter skill contests — no purchase necessary. Pro-exclusive games are prize-free and carry no cash award. Not affiliated with the NFL or any team.
