Rugby League superstar James Tedesco is stepping into the world of fantasy sports, teaming up with GameDay Squad—Australia’s fastest-growing free-to-play fantasy platform—for the 2025 season.
But this isn’t just another fantasy footy app. With over 500,000 downloads on Google Play alone, GameDay Squad is revolutionising the game—ditching outdated salary caps and weekly drafts in favour of a fully free-to-play experience that lets fans collect, trade, and build their dream squads all year round.
"I love what GameDay Squad is doing," Tedesco said. "This is as close as you can get to experiencing the highs and lows of being a real coach. You don’t just pick a team and forget about it—you have to plan, trade, and manage your squad like the pros."
Unlike traditional fantasy leagues, GameDay Squad was built from the ground up to be free-to-play, making it accessible for every fan while still delivering next-level strategy and competition.
And fans are jumping on board in record numbers. Fantasy sports are booming worldwide—2.4 million Aussies now play, double the number from just three years ago.
"James is the perfect fit for GameDay Squad. He knows what it takes to build a winning team, and that’s exactly what our platform is about," said Callum Stone, Founder of GameDay Squad.
To celebrate, GameDay Squad is hosting a huge season launch event this Thursday, February 27 in Sydney, where fans can meet Tedesco in person and get an exclusive first look at the 2025 season.
Fantasy footy is changing fast, and GameDay Squad is leading the charge. Whether you're a hardcore strategist or just love the thrill of Rugby League, now’s the time to get involved.
