Best Futures Prop Firms

36 firms, 637 plans, ranked November 2026. Futures prop firms sell evaluations on CME futures such as NQ, ES and GC; you pass a test, trade their capital and keep most of the profit.

As of November 12, 2026, 36 of the 86 prop firms PropTested tracks qualify. The best value is Top One Futures Elite Access ($50K) at $133 to start, an estimated $219 until funded. The firms differ most in drawdown type, daily loss limit, consistency rule and how fast they pay. Price alone says little: a cheap plan nobody passes costs more than a dearer one with room to trade.
