ESPN fantasy football waivers typically clear daily between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). During this time, waiver claims are processed based on league settings and waiver order. Players who are dropped enter waivers for the length of the waiver period set by the league (usually 1 or 2 days), after which claims are resolved early in the morning. Once waivers clear, unclaimed players become free agents and can be picked up on a first-come, first-served basis without impacting waiver order. In summary, waivers on ESPN generally clear early every morning around 3 to 5 a.m. ET.
