when do waivers process yahoo fantasy football

Yahoo Fantasy Football waivers are processed daily, typically between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Eastern Time. When the waiver period ends during this time window, players either clear waivers and become free agents or are awarded to the team with the highest waiver priority that placed a claim. The exact timing allows managers to submit claims, which are processed in priority order, and the results are applied early that morning. Players dropped to waivers remain there for a set waiver period before becoming available again, commonly 1 to 3 days, depending on league settings. Weekly waivers also run from Sunday morning to Tuesday night in some league formats, with clearances occurring early Wednesday morning around 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. PT (Pacific Time) or ET (Eastern Time) depending on settings. Some leagues have continuous waivers processed on fixed days defined by the commissioner, but the most typical daily processing occurs in the early morning hours.
