Welcome to the Miami Dolphins Home Team Challenge Celebrity League, presented by Sprint. The Celebrity League is made up of a group of entertainers, alumni, media members and fans who will provide their weekly picks and analysis in an effort to be crowned as Celebrity League Champion!

The Celebrity League has a 14-week regular season with the top eight point producers advancing to the playoffs. The opening round of the playoffs occurs during the NFL's Week 15 game schedule. The top four scores from first round of the playoffs advance to the semi-final round and those top two scorers advance to the Celebrity League Championship Game to be played based on the NFL's Week 17 game schedule.

Each member of the Celebrity League wanted to pick a team comprised of only Dolphins players. However, because that would result in a tie each week, the Celebrity League commissioner ruled that participants in this league cannot pick Dolphins players.
