FanDuel broadened its daily fantasy and sports betting offerings today, 2025/09/02, with the launch of ‘FanDuel Picks,’ a new peer-to-peer fantasy sports platform. The platform allows users to challenge each other in head-to-head contests across major professional sports, diverging from FanDuel’s traditional large-field tournaments.
FanDuel Picks introduces a more personalized and competitive fantasy experience, catering to users seeking direct matchups rather than competing against thousands in conventional pools. This expansion aims to attract a wider audience by offering a lower barrier to entry and increased engagement through focused, one-on-one contests. The platform’s debut signifies FanDuel’s continued innovation within the rapidly evolving sports technology landscape, perhaps reshaping how fans interact with and wager on their favorite teams and athletes.
The new platform enables users to create or join private contests with customizable entry fees and scoring rules. FanDuel Picks currently supports the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL, with plans to expand to additional sports in the future. Users select a roster of players, and their performance is compared directly against their opponent’s lineup.
“FanDuel Picks is designed to bring a new level of excitement and competition to the daily fantasy experience,” stated a FanDuel representative. “We’re giving fans more control and the opportunity to test their skills directly against friends, family, or other sports enthusiasts.”
