How Pickz Works

Pick a competition, make your predictions and beat your mates. Pickz keeps following sport simple and social.

Pickz is a free-to-play sports prediction game. There is no betting, no fantasy squad and no transfer budget. Make predictions about real games, earn points for accuracy and compare your performance with other players. The core ideas are shared; prediction inputs, scoring, Season Picks and deadlines depend on your competition.

The journey

From new player to leaderboard, in nine steps.

Start with these shared Pickz concepts, then check your competition's rules for its exact inputs, scoring, eligibility and deadlines. Return before the displayed game deadlines to make your next predictions.

  1. Step 1Choose a competition

    Pick the competition you want to play — Prem Pickz for the Premier League, or NFL Pickz for the NFL. Each competition runs all season, so you can jump in whenever you like.

  2. Step 2Create your account

    Sign up for free in a couple of minutes. No entry fee, no card details — just an account so your points and leagues are saved and follow you every gameweek.

  3. Step 3Make your Pickz

    Head to the predict screen and make a prediction for each game. What you predict depends on the competition: in Premier League Pickz you enter a scoreline, which also sets your result call; in NFL Pickz you pick the winner and winning margin.

  4. Step 4Pick your Bonus Team

    Choose the team you follow and their games can earn you bonus points on top of your Pickz. How Bonus Team points are earned, and when your choice locks, is set by each competition's rules.

  5. Step 5Meet each fixture deadline

    Each Pick locks one hour before that fixture's own kick-off. Edit as often as you like before then — late changes are rejected, so get your call in with time to spare.

  6. Step 6Score points

    The more accurate your Pickz, the more points you earn, with Bonus Team, Featured Game or Match and Season Picks points on top. Scoring differs by competition — for example, Premier League Pickz pays 1 point for the correct result and 3 for the exact score. See competition rules for each competition's exact scoring.

  7. Step 7Check the leaderboard

    Watch your points land as fixtures finish and see where you stand any time on the leaderboard — both for the gameweek and across the whole season.

  8. Step 8Create or join a private league

    Set up a private league and share your unique invite code, or join your mates' league with theirs. Everyone predicts the same fixtures, and the table tracks the group all season. Need ideas? Learn more about a prediction league.

  9. Step 9Return every week

    Come back before each round of fixtures to lock in your next set of Pickz. Look out for each competition's Featured Game or Featured Match, and its Season Picks while they are still open. A few minutes a week keeps you in the hunt on every board.

Weekly and season-long

Two ways to win at once.

Every point you score counts twice: once on the gameweek board and once on the season-long board. You never have to choose which one to play for.

The weekly game

Each gameweek is its own mini-contest with its own leaderboard, so a hot week can crown you gameweek champion even if you're mid-table overall. It's the perfect way to keep a private league lively from one round of fixtures to the next.

The season-long game

The same points stack onto the season-long board, where consistency wins out over a full campaign. Competitions can also have Season Picks — longer-range calls that settle later in the season. What they cover, when they lock and how they score depend on the competition; see competition rules.
