The whole season, explained.
Here’s how a season fits together, what a flight is, and what you run yourself if you’re the commissioner.
This year at a glance
A snapshot of the current calendar. It’s generated from the real Bravo airing schedule, so it shifts from year to year.
The bars overlap. Bravo airs shows continuously, so flight windows run into each other. A full-season league plays the overlapping flights at the same time, each with its own roster and matchups, all feeding one cumulative total.

Your season
When you start a league you choose how much of the year you’re in for. Either way, it’s head-to-head against your friends every week.
One draft, one stretch of shows, one champion. In and out in a few weeks.
Play all three flights the year has, in one league with the same teams. You draft a fresh roster each time a new batch of shows premieres, and because those batches overlap you’ll often be running more than one flight at once. Every flight’s points and record stack into a single cumulative race to a year-end title, no new league needed.
What's a flight?
A flight is one draft plus one scoring window, built around a cluster of Bravo shows that air around the same time. Three things worth knowing:
- Everyone shares them. Flights are league-wide. Every league playing 2026 Flight 1 drafts from the same cast pool on the same calendar: the same playing field, everywhere.
- Whole shows, never split. A flight holds entire show seasons start to finish, so a show is never cut off mid-run. That means flight windows can overlap on the calendar, totally normal.
- Built from the schedule. Unscripted groups the airing calendar into flights automatically. Some years have more flights, some fewer.
Drafts & Rosters
You draft from the cast of that flight’s shows. Roster size isn’t a fixed number. It flexes to how much cast the flight has, so a stacked flight gives you a deeper bench than a quiet one.
In a full-season league you draft again each time a new flight opens, so a mid-year premiere is a fresh shot at a title contender.
Scoring
New leagues run Sunday through Saturday, with each week opening at midnight Eastern. Existing leagues keep the calendar shown in their schedule. Scoring begins with the first full competition week after the draft finishes. Points belong to the week an episode aired, even when its recap arrives later.
Set your lineup before your cast air. Each cast member’s first airing locks their starting position and ownership through week-end. In leagues using weekly lineup rules, you can save next week’s lineup ahead of time, including cast locked this week. Check the preview for airing coverage and changes to required positions.
Points come in four tiers. Big swings are the rare ones worth waiting for, like a slap, a thrown drink, or a hot mic. Episode drama is the week-to-week texture: a heated argument, a blindside, storming off, hosting the party. Everyday moments are the small, steady points that keep a quiet week from ending at zero, like phone drama, a toast, or getting talked about behind your back.
The fourth tier costs you. Anything that defuses a story is worth negative points: apologizing sincerely, playing peacekeeper to shut a fight down, plugging your tequila line mid-scene, or refusing to film at all. Drafting a calm, reasonable cast member is a real risk.
Win your week, win your matchup. Win the chat.
You run it. We keep the calendar.
Starting a league makes you the commissioner. Here’s the split:
- The league name & who’s in
- Max teams
- Single flight or full season
- When to open the draft
- The final say on every scored event
- The flight calendar & windows
- Which shows go in which flight
- The draft-eligible cast pool
- Roster size for each flight
- Filing each episode into the right week
- Scoring it automatically as recaps publish
That’s the whole game.
