The last week to change your season
Yahoo's default fantasy football trade deadline for 2026 is Saturday, November 28.
ESPN sets a default for its standard leagues and lets League Managers change it, Sleeper commissioners pick a deadline week, and Fantrax commissioners set their own. Your league's setting always wins. League Loom reads the deadline from ESPN and Sleeper league settings and flags it in your weekly report once it is three weeks away. Checked November 9, 2026.

Before you start
ESPN returns your league's deadline date and Sleeper returns the deadline week in league settings. League Loom's weekly report flags it once it is three weeks away or closer. Fantrax does not return it, so the assistant should ask you.
Playoff odds and this week's win and loss swings show whether you are chasing this season. Buy if you are on the bubble with a path; sell veterans for picks or younger players if you are not.
An offer only counts once it is accepted. Send it early in deadline week, and remember a league review period can still run after the deadline for a trade accepted in time.

Worked example
Illustrative example with fictional teams. It shows the shape of an answer, not a recorded league.
The league returns a Week 11 trade deadline, so there is one more week to deal.
You are 5-5 in the sixth and final playoff spot, with playoff odds of 48%: 71% with a win this week and 27% with a loss.
Buy a starter for your weakest slot from a team outside the race, and send the offer now so the other manager has time to accept.
Deadline articles give you the default date. Your league may not use it, and the date alone does not tell you what to do.
With your league connected, the assistant reads your actual deadline where the platform returns it, then puts your standings and playoff odds beside it so the buy or sell call comes from your season, not an average one.
Sources checked . Platform defaults and steps come from each platform's own pages. Your league's setting overrides any default.

Before you connect
Yahoo's 2026 game dates page lists Saturday, November 28, 2026 as the default trade deadline for public and Public Prize leagues. A private league's commissioner can choose a different date, so check your league settings.
ESPN sets the default for its standard and public leagues, and League Managers of private leagues can change it under LM Tools, Edit League Settings, Transactions and Keepers, Trade Rules. With your ESPN league connected, League Loom reads your league's deadline date from its settings.
The commissioner picks the deadline week, or turns the deadline off, in the league's General Settings. Trading closes when the final game of that NFL week finishes. League Loom reads the deadline week from Sleeper league settings.
On ESPN, yes: ESPN says a trade accepted before the deadline but scheduled to process after it still goes through, while new trading is disabled from the deadline on. Check your own platform's review rules for the exact timing.
No. League Loom only reads league data. Your assistant can find targets and check an offer against both rosters, and you send or accept any trade in your fantasy app.
No. Fantrax does not return the deadline to League Loom, so the assistant should ask you for it rather than state one. Rosters, salaries where returned, standings and schedules still come from your league.
