Live Fantasy Draft Event for Women Hits Tampa Bay in August 2026

Fan Girl Football Brings a Live Fantasy Draft Event to Tampa Bay for Female Football Fans

Tampa, United States – May 10, 2026 / Fan Girl Football /

Fan Girl Football is bringing its first live fantasy draft event to Tampa Bay on August 21-22, 2026, giving female football fans a dedicated space to connect, compete, and learn the game together. The two-day gathering marks the brand’s first in-person event of this scale and responds directly to the growing number of women who follow and participate in fantasy football but rarely find events built around them.

A Space Built for Female Football Fans

Fan Girl Football has built its identity around making fantasy football for women more accessible and enjoyable. The Tampa Bay event extends that mission into a live setting, where attendees can meet other female fans face to face, participate in a real draft experience, and spend two days immersed in football culture without having to explain themselves or prove their fandom.

The event is designed to feel relaxed rather than competitive or intimidating. Whether someone has been playing fantasy football for years or has never drafted a single player, the weekend is structured to meet women where they are. Beginners will have access to guidance and support throughout the event so they can get comfortable with the game in a low-pressure environment.

Networking for Women Who Love Football

Beyond the draft itself, the event places a strong emphasis on networking for women who share a passion for the sport. Female football fans often find themselves scattered across existing communities that were not built with them in mind. This event gives them a reason to gather in one place and build genuine connections with people who understand the experience.

Tampa Bay was chosen as the host city for the 2026 event given its active sports culture and central location within a region that has shown strong engagement with Fan Girl Football’s online community.

“We are bringing together two full days of fantasy football, real connections, and a room full of women who love the game,” said [Executive Name], [Title] of Fan Girl Football. “Whether you drafted your first team last season or you have no idea where to start, this event was built for you.”

What Attendees Can Expect

The live fantasy draft event will walk participants through the full draft experience with support available for anyone who needs it. The format is designed to be engaging and approachable, giving first-timers a genuine introduction to fantasy football while still offering enough substance to keep experienced players interested.

The social side of the weekend is equally intentional. Scheduled time for networking and informal conversation is woven throughout both days so attendees have room to connect beyond just the draft table. Fan Girl Football has structured the event so that the football and the community building happen side by side rather than one being an afterthought to the other.

Additional details about the event schedule, ticket availability, and location specifics for the August 21-22, 2026 Tampa Bay can be found at Fan Girl Football’s official event page. Women interested in attending are encouraged to follow Fan Girl Football to stay updated or get your ticket today as a limited number of spots are available.
