DraftKings Sportsbook NFL Slate Breaker: What It Is & How It Works

DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Slate Breaker is a new promotion for the 2026 NFL season that gives NFL bettors a chance to win a share of $2 million in Bonus Bets if their First Touchdown scorer scores the first touchdown of the 1 p.m. ET slate of NFL games. If you listen to Pardon My Take, you've undoubtedly heard PFT and Big Cat talk about Slate Breaker — you'll also see their faces on the promo tiles, as this is one of a ton of promos that Barstool personalities are doing in partnership with DraftKings.

So, how does DraftKings' Slate Breaker work? Slate Breaker is decided by the game clock — if you place a bet of $10 or more on a First Touchdown wager and your player scores a TD at the earliest point of the game than any player across all games in the 1 p.m. ET time slot, you'll split $2 million in Bonus Bets with the other DraftKings Sportsbook users who bet on the same player.

Here's how you can win a share of $2 million in Bonus Bets with DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Slate Breaker:

1. Log in to the DraftKings Sportsbook app or access the sportsbook on the web
2. Locate the Slate Breaker promotion on the homepage carousel or on the Rewards tab
3. Click the green "Opt In" button & receive a Qualifying Bet Token
4. Place an NFL "First Touchdown" bet of $10 or more on any player in the 1:00 p.m. ET slate of games
   1. Users who place a bet with their token on the first touchdown across the 1:00 p.m. ET game slate will receive an equal share of $2,000,000 in Bonus Bets the following day
   2. "First Touchdown of the Game Slate" is defined as the player to score the fastest touchdown in the least amount of time elapsed in their game compared to the rest of the 1:00 p.m. ET games
   3. If multiple players tie for the first TD of the game slate, the prize is split across all customers who bet any of those players
