It’s safe to say that fantasy football is reaching new heights for ESPN and United Airlines.
In the last NFL season, ESPN had 14 million participants in its fantasy football leagues, marking the third year in a row that ESPN Fantasy Football grew by over 1 million players. Now, as the network prepares for the upcoming NFL season, the company has teamed up with United to make a wild draft stunt a reality.
During Tuesday’s ESPN Fantasy Football Marathon, ESPN host and fantasy expert Tyler Fulghum joined the network for its marquee draft live from 35,000 feet aboard a United flight, utilizing Starlink Wi-Fi to make his picks live on ESPN’s broadcast.
