Switch from CBS Sports to League Tycoon
CBS Sports Fantasy has quietly hosted some of the longest-running dynasty and salary cap leagues in fantasy football. Those leagues also tend to be the ones with the most to lose in a move, which is exactly why they stay. League Tycoon imports CBS leagues directly, including the salaries and contract years that usually make a migration feel impossible.
You do not have to rebuild your CBS league by hand
League Tycoon imports CBS leagues directly. Paste a link to your CBS league and sign in with your CBS email and password, which is exchanged for a session token on our servers and never stored. The import brings over your rosters, league settings and scoring, future draft picks, team logos, contracts where the source has them, and up to 20 seasons of league history. Past seasons come back as real seasons you can browse week by week, with standings, matchup lineups, playoff brackets, and final standings.
CBS is one of the platforms that exposes salary and contract data, so a CBS salary cap league imports with its contracts intact. CBS support is in beta.
How league import worksWhy leagues move off CBS
- ✓A dated experience, especially on a phone
League Tycoon is a native app on iOS and Android with a full web experience beside it, and the two have the same features and the same data. - ✓Salary cap rules that live half in the app
Dead money, franchise tags, rookie contracts, extensions, and cap compliance are enforced by League Tycoon rather than tracked alongside it. - ✓No dynasty-native draft formats
Slow auction drafts run over days or weeks with 20+ players on the block at once, which is the format most dynasty leagues actually want and few platforms offer. - ✓No trade auctions
Post a trade and let the rest of the league counter-bid on the players involved, so market price is visible to everyone. - ✓Governance tools handled by hand
Compensatory picks and a configurable draft lottery are built in rather than run on the honor system.
For CBS salary cap and contract leagues
This is the case where the import earns its keep. A CBS salary cap league carries years of negotiated contracts, and retyping them is both tedious and the fastest way to start an argument. The import reads the salaries and contract years straight from CBS and writes them onto a League Tycoon contract dynasty league.
Caps larger than League Tycoon's 10,000 maximum are scaled by a power of ten rather than clipped, and every salary is scaled by the same factor, so relative value is preserved exactly. A $300,000,000 cap becomes $3,000 and a $50,000,000 player becomes $500.
From there the platform owns the math: dead money, franchise tags, RFA tenders, extensions, rookie contracts, and cap compliance are all enforced automatically.
Step-by-step migration guide
1. Copy your CBS league link
Open your league on CBS and copy the URL. It contains the league identifier the import needs.
2. Run the import
In League Tycoon, open Tools, choose Import League, pick CBS, paste the link, and sign in with your CBS credentials. Choose standard dynasty or contract dynasty, and choose how many past seasons to bring over.
3. Review the preview
You see every team, roster counts, how many players matched, the settings being mapped, any salary cap scaling, which teams would land over the cap, and anything that will not carry over. Nothing is created until you approve it.
4. Work the post-import checklist
Unmatched players, scoring rules to confirm, contract years and contract rules, playoff and waiver settings. Each item deep links to the screen that resolves it.
5. Invite your league mates
Share the invite link and each league mate claims their own team from a list.
6. Go live
Set up your next draft and start the season with your rosters, contracts, and history already in place.
