Stokastic NFL Early Bird Pricing: Lock In Before September 1
By Jake Hari
August 22, 2026

Early Bird access is now live for Stokastic NFL Core, Max and MVP Annual subscriptions, and the window has a hard close: on September 1, NFL pricing goes up across the board. Lock an annual plan before then and you keep today's price for the entire season — through the playoffs, through Best Ball season, all of it. Wait, and the same subscription costs more in ten days.
Here is the math, the deadline, and how to decide which tier fits how you play.
The Early Bird Numbers
Three annual tiers are available at Early Bird pricing right now:
| Tier | Early Bird Annual (now) | Annual after Sept 1 | Monthly after Sept 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NFL Core | $549.95 | $649.95 | $149.95/mo |
| NFL Max | $749.95 | $899.95 | $229.95/mo |
| NFL MVP | $1,299.95 | $1,499.95 | $349.95/mo |
Two clocks are running in that table. The first is the Early Bird discount itself: Core Annual is $100 below its September price, Max is $150 below, MVP is $200 below. The second is the bigger one: what an annual lock saves you against paying month-to-month once the season starts.
Annual Vs. Monthly: What A Season Actually Costs
An NFL DFS season is a five-month commitment at minimum — September through the January playoffs. Run that on a monthly subscription at the new rates and here is what the season costs against an Early Bird annual lock:
| Tier | 5 months of monthly | Early Bird Annual | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $749.75 | $549.95 | $199.80 |
| Max | $1,149.75 | $749.95 | $399.80 |
| MVP | $1,749.75 | $1,299.95 | $449.80 |
And that is the conservative case. Keep a monthly sub running into February, or use your annual access for Best Ball, the offseason tools and next summer's prep, and the gap widens from there. The annual price buys twelve months; the monthly comparison above only counts the five you can't skip.
Which Tier Is Right For You
NFL Core is the foundation: Stokastic's NFL projections and Sims access that our lineup-building process runs on. If you play main slates weekly and want the same data our in-house players use, this is the workhorse tier.
NFL Max is Core with the ceiling raised: more simulation power and the full toolkit for players running multiple contests and larger entry counts every week.
NFL MVP is the new top tier, built for high-volume players who want the most simulation horsepower we offer. This is the first season MVP is available on the pricing page directly, with no application and no waitlist. If you're the player whose weekend runs on sims from Thursday night through Monday, MVP exists for you.
If you're torn, start with the honest question of volume: single-entry and small-field players get everything they need from Core; 20-max and large-field players feel the difference in Max; MVP is for players treating the season like a business.
Why The Price Is Going Up
Prices move on September 1 because the product did: the Sims, projections and tools shipping into this NFL season are a meaningfully bigger product than what the current prices were set against. The Early Bird window is the bridge — everyone who commits to the season before kickoff gets it at the old number.
That's the whole play. No code to enter, no fine print: the Early Bird prices are live on the NFL pricing page right now, and on September 1 they're gone.

FAQ
When does Early Bird pricing end? September 1, 2026. That's when NFL pricing increases across annual and monthly plans. Annual subscriptions started before then keep the Early Bird rate for the full year.
Do I need a promo code? No. The Early Bird prices are the listed annual prices on the pricing page right now. What you see is the locked rate.
Does an annual plan cover the playoffs? Yes — an annual subscription is twelve months of access, which covers the full NFL season, the playoffs, and carries into next summer's prep.
What if I already have a monthly NFL subscription? Switching to annual before September 1 locks the Early Bird rate going forward — at five months of the new monthly pricing you'd already have spent more than a Core or Max annual costs today.
