Where To Play Fantasy Soccer?
PDFS August 21, 2015
As the big 4 daily fantasy sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) continue to explode in popularity there has also been a growing surge in players participating in some of the smaller niche fantasy sports. I’m talking about PGA Golf, Nascar and specifically Daily Fantasy Soccer. While soccer or football is huge in Europe it is still rather small potatoes in North America. This may still be true as far as TV ratings and attendance goes but in the daily fantasy sports world it is becoming an increasingly popular and profitable sport to play in. DFS sites have taken notice of the increased demand of fantasy soccer and many have now added it to their rotation of fantasy sports contests. Here is our list of the best DFS sites that offer Daily Fantasy Soccer leagues and contests:
Draftkings is at the top of the daily fantasy sports industry and added fantasy soccer to their huge roster of sports in 2014.
