Apex Fantasy Football Money Leagues has some of the highest payouts online. As fantasy owners ourselves, we know how grueling a fantasy season can be and therefore, take pride in rewarding owners who earned the top prize.
Apex often enhances leagues shortly before the draft if we need extra players. Enhancing means we are giving extra money to the first-place finisher at no cost to the players. To be notified of enhancements, check the “Notify me whenever a league is prize-boosted/enhanced” box on your My Account page.
Apex also charges a regulatory fee as required by legislation for your state or location. They are not included in the calculations below.

*Live Draft leagues include an additional fee of $5 for live draft supervision. Regulatory fees, as required for your state or location, may change the price of your entry.
Starting in 2026, Apex is adding a $5 dynasty fee for all dynasty teams. Apex dynasty leagues are designed to last indefinitely. This modest fee helps ensure that long-term vision remains viable.
Our commissioner’s fee is $9.95 and is included in the league entry listed above. This covers the cost of league supervision by a professional, impartial party during the course of the season. Commissioners are a necessary part of fantasy football, and we take our duties very seriously.
Commissioners will provide a number of services, including but not limited to contacting absent parties before the draft, supervising the first two rounds of the draft, preventing collusion by serving as a judge for questionable trades, managing lineups for abandoned teams, and answering all questions and emails in a timely fashion.
If you disagree with a trade, contact your league commissioner or email us. The trade will enter the review process outlined in the rules once the commissioner has been notified by at least two teams.
Payouts are released promptly and can be expected shortly after NFL stat corrections are determined for the final week. To claim prizes, go to your My Account page and click “Claim Prize Winnings”. There, you will put the prize money in your account. After that, you can use the money for future leagues or go to “Withdraw Funds From Account” and choose your withdrawal method.
**This calculation does not include the commissioner or regulatory fees, but also does not include enhancements. It includes the league entry fee percentage paid out, averaged amongst our six different price points.
Buy-ins are collected and payouts are made by contest provider DataForce. The prizes listed above refer to regular-season leagues. For Playoff League payouts, please refer to the Playoff League Rules.
