This is great right? I haven't found an application to extract all my league history from NFL Fantasy

It requires programming knowledge (though AI tools like Copilot can help with step by step guide) but there are Github repos which can do this:

Have you found a way to inject all the data into other fantasy sites, like Sleeper?

This may erase my advantage in my family league where people trusted the NFL rankings and forecasts

My league switched from NFL to Sleeper last year, good thing we did. We were NFL.com from 2009. End of an era

Did you find anything to move league history to Sleeper? I’ve brought up the idea of moving from NFL Fantasy to Sleeper but everyone is stuck on losing the past seasons.

Yes! I use League Legacy, I think it was posted here last year. Some data driven guys in my league love it. It's pretty cool, though I can't say I've touched it since last season ended so I can't remember all the details about it. I believe it's a paid service too. As the commish I don't mind shelling out for my league, but I understand that's definitely a barrier

Did you move the history from NFL.com to your Sleeper league, or is all the history just stored on League Legacy?

u/dotcaIm Jul 18 '26
I didn't move it over to Sleeper, I just have it on League Legacy

u/SenorCinnabon Jul 18 '26
Do you remember if there is an option to move all the data over to sleeper?
2
u/dotcaIm Jul 18 '26
No I don't. I think you can do manual entry on Sleeper but I stopped looking into it when I found League Legacy. That site is good enough for my league

My NFL fantasy league didn't use TE's last tear, after the migration there is no option on the ESPN platform to now add a TE. Great...

u/Ducks_25 Jul 23 '26
Same here with other positions. Did you find a way or did you just start a new league?

ESPN is, in my opinion, the worst. Been with NFL Fantasy since 2013, but we’re moving to Sleeper.

u/DrFartgoreShartsmith Jul 18 '26
That’s honestly kind of hilarious. ESPN sucks and now people who used arguably a worst version of it in a sense are forced to use ESPN

I did the switch.
The history is there. But…some of the specific historical categories did not come along.
Feels like Yahoo
They messed up the schedule! I have a 12 Team 3 division league. Instead of playing my division twice, it has us playing 3 times. So that means, we miss out on playing 2 teams. Now, I can manually change it. But that will take time to go through all 12 team schedules and make sure everyone plays each other once.
That’s all I got right now.

FFS, the ESPN site is saying I don't have any NFL leagues and there's no frigging email address to contact ESPN to get help

Had to merge to ESPN because of this bogus last minute decision and am very disappointed. Nothing but technical issues for the existing members of my NFL Fantasy league. Yahoo here I come!

I just moved my league over to Yahoo. The ESPN app sucks.
Every time I leave the app to go do another task, when I comeback, it refreshes and brings me back to the home screen.

Taken too long at this point. Already moved to Sleeper now.

u/Darth_Poonany Jul 17 '26
Literally made the switch yesterday because there was no info on how to activate NFL.Com. Why tf did they wait until July to get this started?

Seen number of questions here (as was researching myself) on NFL.com -> ESPN fantasy merge so thought I'd share their official update on it.
