The premiere contest in the fantasy baseball industry is the NFBC Main Event, now in its 22nd season. Winning the NFBC Main Event overall title will bring you a $200,000 grand prize, but also notoriety that will last a lifetime. Once you've proven that you are the best player in the fantasy baseball industry, that recognition and title will never go away.

But jumping into the NFBC Main Event for the first time isn't easy. That's why we've created a contest that will allow you to test out the format before jumping in with the sharks and may even give you a FREE ENTRY into the Main Event.

We call this contest the NFBC $125 Main Event Qualifier. Cost of entry is $125 and you are competing against 14 other competitors for one prize: A FREE 2026 NFBC Main Event entry. There's no second or third place prizes; this is a winner-take-all format with the same rules and format as the NFBC Main Event.

Last year we awarded 26 FREE entries into the Main Event through this contest. We offer 4-Hour and 2-Hour Qualifiers now and we'll open some nightly Qualifier leagues in mid-March. Jump on in for $125 and you could turn that into a FREE $1,800 entry in 2026 and maybe the $200,000 grand prize. How does that sound?

For more details on this contest, here's the contest rules:

Good luck everyone and enjoy these NFBC Main Event Qualifier leagues. The prize is a good one and the competition will prepare you for the 2025 NFBC Main Event. Enjoy.

I'm happy that we've already filled 22 NFBC $125 Main Event Qualifier leagues this year because that means that 22 people are going to turn a $125 entry into a FREE $1,800 entry at the end of the season. Those 22 people will then have a chance to turn that $125 investment into a shot at next year's $200,000 grand prize. How cool is that?

We have a few more chances to do that as the Main Event Qualifier leagues will still run today and tomorrow. Get in while you can and compete for that FREE 2026 Main Event entry.
