How it works

No spreadsheets, no jargon. Here's the whole season in three steps.

  1. Join a league

    Sign-ups close Nov 15

    Two leagues of 10 teams each. We'll assign leagues and email your invite by Nov 20.

  2. Draft your team

    Drafts Nov 30 to Dec 4

    A live snake draft with a pick timer and tips along the way. Never drafted before? We'll walk you through it.

  3. Play head-to-head

    Season opens Dec 5

    Each week your players' real PWHL games score points against another team in your league. The numbers move, and so do the stories.

Questions

I've never played fantasy. Is this for me?

Yes, that's who we built it for. We explain each step as it comes up, and you don't need to know hockey stats to start. Check out Fantasy 101 for the full rundown.

Is it free?

Yes. It's free to join and play.

Is this the official PWHL game?

No. Undertow is an independent fan project with no affiliation with the PWHL or its teams.

What do you do with my email?

We use it to send your league invite and Undertow updates, and nothing else. Read the details.

I have a friend I want to play in a league with. How can we make sure we end up in the same league?

Add their email in the "Signing up with a friend?" field when you sign up, and we'll make sure you're placed in the same league.
