The basics

What is a football prediction game?

If you can call a scoreline, you can play. It really is that simple.

A football prediction game is a contest where you predict the outcome of real fixtures and score points based on how close you get. It's part pub debate, part competition — the fun of backing your judgement against your mates every week, without a penny changing hands. Pickz is a free football score prediction game: you call the exact scoreline of each fixture, and you pick up points as the results roll in.

Because it's an online football prediction game, everyone's Pickz, points and standings update in one place. You don't need a spreadsheet or a group chat that descends into chaos — just make your predictions, watch the games and let the leaderboard crown a winner. It's football predictions with friends, sorted.

How Pickz works

From sign-up to leaderboard in four steps.

The whole game fits on one screen. Here's how a gameweek plays out.

1. Create your free account

Sign up in seconds, pick a favourite club and you're ready to play. No card details, no fees.

2. Call the scores

Predict the exact scoreline of every fixture in the gameweek. Your scoreline also sets your result call — home win, draw or away win.

3. Beat each deadline

Each Pick locks one hour before that fixture kicks off. Edit as often as you like before then.

4. Score and climb

Points land as fixtures finish, feeding your gameweek score, the season board and your private leagues.

Quick to play

Predict scores in minutes.

No homework, no deep dives — just your gut, your Pickz and the fixtures.

Making your Pickz takes a couple of minutes. Open the fixtures, tap in a scoreline for each match and you're done. Change your mind on the bus? Edit as many times as you like right up until each fixture's deadline. Check kick-off times on the fixtures page so you never miss one.

That's the beauty of a good online football prediction game: it fits around your week rather than eating into it. Get your predictions in, get on with your day, and check back when the results start landing.

Play every week

Compete every gameweek.

A fresh contest lands with every round of fixtures — and there's always another one coming.

Every gameweek is its own football prediction competition. Your Pickz are scored the moment fixtures finish, and the standings shuffle in real time as results come in. A blinder of a week can send you top of the pile even if you've had a quiet run — there's always a way back in, which is exactly why the group chat stays lively.

Because a new set of fixtures arrives every week, football predictions with friends becomes a proper ongoing rivalry rather than a one-off. Miss a week? No problem — you're back in the running the moment you make your next Pickz.

With your mates

Play in private leagues.

Set up a table for your five-a-side, your family or the office — and let the banter run all season.

Start a football prediction league

Any player can create a private league and becomes its host and first member automatically. Every league gets a unique invite code — friends join by entering the code or following the join link, and everyone predicts the same fixtures. Players can even join mid-season, scoring points from the moment they start.

Prizes and stakes, your way

Hosts can record prizes for first, second, third and the wooden spoon, plus any optional stakes the group fancies. Privately arranged prizes are organised by the league itself — Pickz displays them but doesn't administer them, so what you play for is entirely up to you.

Two ways to win

Weekly and season competition.

Every point you score counts twice — on the gameweek board and the season board at the same time.

Pickz gives you two contests in one. Each gameweek is a sprint — nail your Pickz and you could top the round. The season is the marathon, where those same points stack up week after week. So you can chase the gameweek crown, the season title, or both, and there's always something to play for.

Alongside your weekly calls, season-long Pickz reward you for reading the whole campaign — predicting the final table before it locks. It's the same simple idea, stretched across the season: back your judgement, score points, climb the board.

Made to be easy

Why Pickz stays simple.

No transfers. No budgets. No squad juggling. Just call the scores.

Not fantasy football

Fantasy football asks you to manage a squad — transfers, budgets, captains and endless tinkering. Pickz doesn't. There are no players to buy or sell and no team to run. You simply predict the scores of real fixtures, which means anyone can join in and enjoy it, whether they follow every match or just enjoy calling the scores.

Simple to learn, hard to master

The rules take a minute to pick up: a point for the right result, more for the exact score. But calling scorelines week after week is a proper test of your football brain — which is what keeps a good football prediction league interesting long after the novelty of fantasy transfers wears off.

Points & deadlines

How points and deadlines work.

Here's the high-level version — the rules page has every last detail.

Scoring is straightforward: 1 point for calling the correct result — home win, draw or away win — and 3 points for the exact score. Fixtures involving your favourite club pay a bonus on top, and season-long Pickz reward calling the final table. It's the same for every player, every fixture, all season.

On deadlines, each Pick locks one hour before that fixture's own kick-off — not all at once. Edit as much as you like before then; late changes are rejected. Postponed, cancelled, suspended or abandoned fixtures never score, so only finished fixtures count.
