Fantera turns showing up for your team into rewards. Check in on game day, post in your team's feed, and run with your Crew — the group of friends you experience the season with. Everything you already do as a college sports fan now earns Fantera Rewards (FNR) points. EARN BY BEING A FAN Check in at games and watch parties, keep streaks alive, complete challenges, and climb your team's leaderboards. FNR points are loyalty rewards — earned through engagement, never purchased. YOUR TEAM, YOUR FEED A feed built for your fandom: game threads, polls, photos, and trash talk with fans who bleed the same colors. Full schedules and scores for football, basketball, and more. CREWS Start a Crew with your friends, chat all season, earn together, and take on rival Crews on the leaderboards. COLLECT THE SEASON Open card packs to collect digital cards that multiply the score you earn all season. Every pack shows its exact odds before you open it. Packs can be unlocked with earned FNR points — or purchased, if you're 18+. BUILT FOR GAME DAY Fast, portrait, one-handed, tailgate-proof. Optional game-day alerts for kickoff, final scores, and fan polls — only what you allow, tunable any time in Settings. Fantera is an independent app made for fans. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any university, athletic department, or conference. Terms: fantera.net/terms Privacy: fantera.net/privacy Support: fantera.net/support
