English Championship Predictions
Predict the exact score of every English Championship game. Take on 344 other players, climb four divisions, and run your own mini-league with your mates.
Running since 2002, when it was Predict the Premiership.
How it works
Predict → score → get promoted
Predict the exact score
Not who wins - the score. Every game, every week.
Long shots score most
For example
3 for the exact score, 1 if you missed the score but got the right result. Then +2 if fewer than a fifth of players predicted that result, and +2 more if fewer than a twentieth predicted that exact score - two separate bonuses.
Get promoted to the Championship
- Championship
- League 1
- League 2
- Non‑League you start here
Divisions are decided every month. Nobody skips a rung, so one good week is never enough.
Things to win

Mini-leagues
Settle it with your mates.

Pestering people to predict since 1993
It started on a family holiday.
The first prediction slips were written out by hand on a family holiday, with no printer in sight, and everybody had fun with them. In 1993 they went round a classroom at 20p each for charity, the scores added up and a table printed so everyone could see how they did. Even a teacher gave in and bought one, not at all sure he was allowed to. It went online in 2002 as Predict the Premiership, and it has run every season since.
Week 11: next kick-off Friday at 20:00.
Free to play, and nothing to win but the table. Joining halfway through is fine - divisions are decided monthly, so you are playing for something from your first game.
