ESPN connection guide
Bring your ESPN roster and league settings into Draft Guru for lineup, trade and waiver advice. Keep playing on ESPN, with Guru beside you for the next decision.
Choose ESPN after signing in to Draft Guru. Start free; check current plan limits.
Get connected
Sign in to Draft Guru, open Connect my team and choose ESPN. Use the account where you want this team to appear.
Paste a public ESPN league link, use an existing saved connection, or connect your private account through the Chrome extension. Choose your league and check the season shown.
Check the roster and scoring, select your team, review the connection and confirm. Open Guru with that league selected to ask about your next move.
Open your league on ESPN and copy its web address. Choose Paste a public league link in Draft Guru. The link supplies the league ID and sport; if you enter only the ID, select the sport yourself. This path works without the extension.
Open Draft Guru in Chrome or Edge on your computer. Install the Draft Guru extension, sign in at fantasy.espn.com, then use Import ESPN and Connect to Draft Guru in the extension. Return to Draft Guru to choose your league. Once connected, the team is available in the same Draft Guru account on your phone.
After you connect
Review the teams, rosters, scoring and available matchup information from ESPN. If the league has not drafted yet, players may appear only after the draft and a refresh.
Refresh from your connected league or opt into daily refresh during setup. A public link alone does not authorize daily refresh: connect through the extension or use a saved ESPN connection first.
Use Guru to compare options, then set your lineup, submit your claim or review your trade on ESPN. Manual and daily refresh are separate from live draft tracking.
Look at my ESPN starters and bench. Which lineup decision needs my attention before the next lock?
Suggested prompt, not a live answer. Select your connected league in Guru and check its last-sync time first.
Connection help
Confirm that it is the league’s ESPN web address, with the correct league ID, sport and season. A private league needs your saved ESPN connection or the computer extension path; a public link cannot grant private access.
Sign in to ESPN in the same computer browser, open the extension and click Connect to Draft Guru. Opening ESPN alone does not send the connection. Keep the Draft Guru import page open and use the same Draft Guru account.
You can use an existing saved ESPN connection. For a new private connection, complete the extension steps on a computer, then return to the same Draft Guru account on your phone. Public league links can be imported without the extension.
Reconnect through the extension while signed in to ESPN, then retry from your connected league. Check the last-sync time before asking about recent roster changes.
This guide connects a read-only copy for advice. Keep setting lineups and making moves on ESPN; connecting your team does not move league play or automatically make those moves for you.
