Every team in the Power 4 (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC) and Notre Dame gets an open week during the season — a weekend with zero college fantasy production from that roster, including its Team Offense and Team Defense. This page groups the 2026 bye weeks by week and by team, and surfaces the top-ranked players affected so you can plan lineups, waivers, and draft strategy ahead of time.
Use By Week to see which schools are off and who that hits, or By Team to look up a specific program. Pair it with our College Fantasy rankings and the mock draft simulator to build a bye-proof roster.
Why Do Bye Weeks Matter in College Fantasy Football?
When a school is on bye, every player you roster from that team — plus its Team Offense and Team Defense — scores zero. With deep college rosters and OFF/DEF slots, a stacked bye can sink your week, so it pays to spread your starters across different bye weeks.
When Are the 2026 College Football Bye Weeks?
Byes for the Power 4 and Notre Dame are spread across the early- and mid-season slate. This page reads the official 2026 schedule and groups every team by its open week, so you can see exactly who is off and when.
How Do I Plan My CFF Roster Around Byes?
Check your starters before draft day and during the season: avoid rostering two must-start players who share a bye, and line up a streamer at OFF/DEF for the week your top team is off. Use the By Team view to look up a specific school.
Which Players Are Shown on Each Team?
Each team card lists its highest-ranked college fantasy players from PFN's board, so you can gauge how much draft capital a given bye week actually costs you.
Is the College Fantasy Bye Week Schedule Free?
Yes — it is completely free, with no signup. Pair it with our College Fantasy rankings and mock draft simulator to build a bye-proof roster.
