College Football Week 0: First Kickoff, First Chance to Cash Fanatics’ No Sweat Bet

College football is back, and Livvy Dunne is leading the charge as the star of Fanatics Sportsbook’s latest campaign. Week 0 isn’t just about the first games of the season, it’s also your very first chance to cash in on Fanatics’ Game Day No Sweat Bet.

Register before kickoff and you can unlock the maximum number of Game Days, worth up to $2,600 in FanCash nationally or $650 in New York. Wait too long, and you’ll leave serious value on the table, every day you delay cuts down your potential total.

Week 0 Schedule

Week 0 Storylines

• Ranked vs. Ranked: Iowa State vs Kansas State marks the first time since 2002 that two AP Top 25 teams square off in Week 0.
• Farmageddon Opener: For the first time, the Big 12 rivalry kicks off the season instead of closing it.
• New Look in Lawrence: Kansas opens its renovated David Booth Memorial Stadium against Fresno State, with a sellout crowd ready to reset after a tough 2024.
• Stanford Rebuild: Andrew Luck steps into a new role as GM, teaming up with interim coach Frank Reich to spark change for the Cardinal.
• Hawai’i’s Last Big West Ride: The Rainbow Warriors open their farewell season before moving to the Mountain West in 2026.
• Transfer Central at UNLV: Dan Mullen’s Rebels are loaded with transfer talent — and still sorting out a QB battle — as they host Idaho State.

Why You Need to Act Fast

Fanatics’ Game Day No Sweat Bets require a $1+ cash wager on any American football market at +300 odds or longer. If your bet loses, you’ll get FanCash equal to your stake (up to $100 nationally or $25 in New York).

That makes Week 0 the best time to sign up because:

• You’ll unlock the maximum number of Game Days, giving you more swings at big payouts.
• You can use your safety net on underdogs, longshot parlays, or high-value props without worrying about losing your stake.
• Early registration means more bankroll protection as the season ramps up.
