Important Information

Late Swap gives you the ability to add or remove your athletes up until the start of their individual games. This allows you to build the best possible lineup, taking into consideration the latest news and changes.

Not all DraftKings contests offer Late Swap. Athletes who are eligible for Late Swap have an unlocked padlock next to them.

Late swaps can only be made if the new lineup meets the overall lineup requirements.

As an example only: You decide to enter a contest requiring an under $50K salary cap representing 2 or more NHL teams. One of your players gets injured before the start of the game so you decide to swap them. As long as the new player meets the requirements of the contest (from at least 2 NHL teams with a salary cap under $50K), you’ll be able to swap them.

Players can learn how to edit a late swap lineup by following the step by step guides below.
