Can I limit available draft pick years?

Learn how these are automatically applied with draft pick trading

Written by Jacob

Sleeper supports draft pick trading across all league types: Redraft, Keeper and Dynasty.

Draft picks trading can be enabled in the league General Settings:

How draft picks can be traded depends on your league format.

Redraft Leagues

In redraft leagues, draft picks can only be traded before the season’s draft.

  • Each season starts fresh with a new draft

  • All teams receive a brand new set of picks

This ensures a true redraft experience where no team carries over long-term advantages.

If you want to trade future picks, you can switch your league to a keeper format. You don’t need to actually keep players—this simply enables future pick trading.

Keeper & Dynasty Leagues

In keeper and dynasty leagues, draft pick trading includes future years:

  • Picks are available for the current season + up to 3 future years

  • Picks can be traded on their own or included in player trades

These formats are designed for long-term strategy and roster building.

Can I limit the years the picks are available?

Future picks available for the current season + up to 3 future years

  • You cannot limit this to fewer than years

  • You cannot trade picks beyond what’s currently available

New future picks are added as your league progresses. For example, you won't see 2029 picks until your league has completed a 2026 draft
