The 2026 edition of the Ottoneu Prestige League (OPL) will start taking entries today, March 1, at 10am ET.
OPL is a 240-team best-ball tournament that uses a slightly modified version of your qualified Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball roster. Only teams in 12-team leagues without custom rules that finished top 6 in the previous season are qualified. Each team in your league must have a manager in order to enter. There are unique prizes and OPL adds an entire layer of strategy to the Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball season.
No early starts to the season this year! The calendar for 2026 OPL will be as follows:
March 25: Start of first round
April 23: Roster update
May 14: Start of second round, 70 teams eliminated and rosters updated
June 11: Start of third round, 70 teams eliminated and rosters updated
July 15: Start of playoffs, 68 teams eliminated and final roster update
The rules reflect these dates. Please let me know if you see anything wrong or have any questions. The prize structure remains in place, including the opportunity limited to entrants to get the 2026 OPL t-shirt.
Once there are 150 teams in the 2026 OPL, the tournament is guaranteed to take place. OPL has filled up every year, so I would recommend joining as soon as possible. I would also recommend Ottoneu Slack as a great OPL resource.
Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks as always for playing Ottoneu Fantasy Sports!
Hey, my first year playing the OPL. Do the t-shirts show up in the shop after the league starts? I clicked generate coupon, but only saw the 2022 shirt when it brought up the shop. Thanks!
Last night the 2026 Ottoneu Prestige League filled up. Good luck to everyone who is participating and thank you all for entering your teams in this unique tournament.
