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

You said 2 - 1
It finished 2 - 1
Exact score 3
Fewer than 1 in 5 predicted that result +2
Fewer than 1 in 20 predicted that score +2
That one fixture 7

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.

Every round counts

Each round has its own table, so a bad round is never the end of it - the next one starts everybody level.

Things to win

32 achievements, and trophies to show off

Badges for the great calls, the long climbs and the head-to-heads - and one or two for the days it all goes wrong. You will find the rest as you play.

  • I Told You So
  • Full House
  • On a Roll
  • Pistols At 10 Paces
  • I'm The Boss

Fill up your trophy cabinet

Finish in the top 10 of any round, or of the tournament table, and it goes in your cabinet for every player to see. The Trophy Standings add up every one ever won here: proof, over years rather than weeks, of who really knows their football.

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.
