The Best Premier League Prediction League Apps in 2026 (Ranked)

For anyone running a Premier League score-prediction league with friends or colleagues. Thirty-eight matchweeks, 380 fixtures, and a season long enough that the scoring rules matter more than anything on a feature list.

Prices and features last checked .

  1. 1Playoff Pick'Ems — scores exact scorelines and correct results separately, at a flat $20 for the season with the rules frozen at your starting matchweek.
  2. 2Superbru — free to play with iOS and Android apps, if ads are acceptable.
  3. 3OfficePoolJunkie — pay what you want, with autopicks for people who forget.

How We Ranked These Apps

  1. 1Exact-score scoring. Football publishes scorelines, so a prediction league that only asks who wins throws away the interesting half of the prediction.
  2. 2Thirty-eight matchweeks of locking. Fixtures move, kick-off times shift, and a rescheduled match still belongs to its original matchweek.
  3. 3Mid-season starts. Most leagues start in September or January, not on the opening weekend.
  4. 4Rule stability. Over ten months, "can the commissioner change the points in March" is the question that ends leagues.
  5. 5Cost across a whole season. Ten months is a long time to be billed per player.

The Best Premier League Prediction League Apps in 2026

01

Playoff Pick'Ems

Commissioners who want their own scoring rules, frozen for the season, rather than a platform's fixed prediction game.

  • Two scoring tiers that match how football is predicted. An exact scoreline and a correct result are scored separately and configurably — the exact tier only exists for sports that publish scorelines, which is the entire point of a football prediction league. Season and weekly tables show the Exact and Result breakdown, not just a total.
  • Scoring freezes at your league's own starting matchweek. Settings stay editable until that matchweek's first kick-off, then lock. A league started in January gets the same protection as one started in August, and nobody can revise the points once results are on the board.
  • Rescheduled fixtures keep their matchweek. A postponed match still belongs to the matchweek it was scheduled in, so a matchweek stays In Progress until every fixture is played or voided, then goes Final. Leagues that key on calendar dates instead get this wrong every winter.
  • A free Premier League table predictor that needs no account. Anyone can drag out a full 20-team final table and share it as a link, with the whole prediction encoded in the URL. It is the natural front door to a league and no competitor here offers an equivalent signed-out tool.
  • Pricing: Free — 1 pool, 10 members, 1 entry each, custom scoring, no ads. Tournament Pass — $20 for the season. Lifetime All-Access — $90 once, every tournament.

Falls short — One format on the Premier League today — score prediction across matchweeks. No fantasy, and no Last Man Standing pool. No native app, which matters in a league where picks are made on a phone on Saturday morning. Every member needs an account, with no workaround: guest entries carry brackets only today, so they cannot cover a prediction league. Premier League only among English competitions — no Champions League, no FA Cup, no EFL.

First for commissioners who want to write the rules and have the software hold them: separate exact and result scoring, frozen at your own starting matchweek, at a flat $20 for ten months. It beats Superbru precisely where Superbru will not go — custom scoring — and loses to it on apps, on cost, and on the number of people already there.

02

Superbru

Groups who want a free, app-based prediction game with no setup argument.

  • Free to play with no member cap, and the largest ready-made player base of anything here.
  • Native iOS and Android apps, which nothing else here offers.
  • Score-based predictions across the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, the EFL Championship, the Scottish Premiership and the Women's Super League.
  • Private leagues, with up to 10 leagues per tournament, so one group can run several.
  • More than 80 games across 12 sports a year, so the group stays together outside football.

Falls short — Free is ad-supported: banner ads and interstitials on the site and in both apps. Going ad-free means Superbru Premium at "$3.49 per month", or "$38.28" a year — charged per person, not per commissioner, so a whole league going ad-free is the whole league paying. The scoring rules are Superbru's, not yours — you cannot set what an exact score or a correct result is worth. No manual entry for members who will not sign up. It is a game you join rather than software you run.

The most convenient option for a casual group, especially one that lives on phones, and free if ads are acceptable. Choose it unless you specifically want to control the scoring — that is the whole reason to choose Playoff Pick'Ems over it.

03

OfficePoolJunkie

Commissioners who want a free league with no member cap and members who forget.

  • "PAY WHAT YOU WANT to run your office pools with us. Yes, you can even choose FREE!" — with no member limit.
  • EPL covered alongside UEFA, MLS and FIFA competitions.
  • Autopicks for people who forget, which over 38 matchweeks is worth more than most paid features.
  • Nine formats — pick'em, confidence, margin, round robin, survivor and more — on the same platform.
  • A Pool Wizard for setup, and live scoring.

Falls short — Free pools carry ads. Paying reduces them in proportion — "Ad Removal Rate (%) = Payment / Removal Threshold x 100" — and the threshold that clears them entirely is computed per pool from format, features, participant count and duration, so an ad-free pool has no price published up front and costs more as the pool grows. Whether exact-score prediction is supported for football is not described publicly. No native app named. Commissioner manual entry is not described.

The most forgiving option for a large, casual league that must stay free, as long as ads are acceptable. Playoff Pick'Ems is the better choice when the scoring model is the point; OfficePoolJunkie is better when attendance is.

04

PoolTracker

Groups that follow club football beyond the Premier League.

  • Premier League alongside MLS, the Champions League and World Cup pools — one platform for a club football group's whole year.
  • Commissioners can customise pick deadlines and edit anyone's picks at any time.
  • Free pools with unlimited players, carrying banner ads.
  • Downloadable user data.
  • Private-label branding and custom email, plus an "Install App" option.

Falls short — Free pools carry banner ads and score only nightly — "scores calculated within a few minutes of each game's end" is an upgrade. Upgrades are priced per player, and every one of its 50-plus pool types is priced separately, so budget from that pool's own table rather than a headline figure. Private-label branding needs a template on top ($199.99 to $799.99). Exact-score scoring support is not described publicly. Open commissioner editing has no published audit trail, which over 38 matchweeks is a lot of unlogged authority.

The one to pick if your group also wants Champions League and MLS pools in the same place. For the Premier League alone it publishes less about scoring than either Playoff Pick'Ems or Superbru.

Which Prediction League App Is Right for You?

  • If you want to decide what an exact score is worth, choose Playoff Pick'Ems — Superbru's scoring is fixed and the others do not publish theirs.
  • If your group lives on phones and wants zero setup, choose Superbru.
  • If the league must be free with more than ten people, choose Superbru; both it and OfficePoolJunkie are ad-supported, but Superbru's apps and player base make the ads easier to live with.
  • If half the group forgets to predict, choose OfficePoolJunkie for autopicks.
  • If you are starting in January, choose Playoff Pick'Ems; the starting matchweek is a setting and earlier weeks are not scored.
  • If you also want a Champions League league, choose PoolTracker; Playoff Pick'Ems does not run it.

How Premier League Prediction Leagues Work

Twenty clubs, 38 matchweeks, 380 fixtures between August and May. Every club plays every other twice. A prediction league runs alongside it: members predict each matchweek's fixtures, points accumulate, and there are usually two tables — the season standing and the current matchweek, so someone can win a week without leading the league.

Football differs from American sports in one way that shapes the whole format: the scoreline is the prediction. A draw is a real, pickable outcome rather than an anomaly, and predicting 2–1 is meaningfully harder than predicting a home win. That produces the standard two-tier model — more points for the exact score, fewer for the correct result — which is what separates a prediction league from a straight pick'em. Leagues that score only the result end up with half the table tied on points by Christmas.

The other detail is the calendar. Fixtures are postponed for cup runs, weather and European commitments, and rearranged matches are played weeks later. A rescheduled fixture still belongs to its original matchweek, so a matchweek can sit unfinished for a month before its table is final. Software that keys on calendar dates rather than official matchweeks reports the wrong weekly winner every winter, and leagues that started mid-season need the software to score from their own starting matchweek rather than from August.

Questions

What is the best Premier League prediction league app?
Playoff Pick'Ems ranks first for commissioners who want to set the rules: exact scorelines and correct results are scored separately with values you choose, and those values freeze at your league's starting matchweek. Superbru is the cheapest way in, with native iOS and Android apps, but it is ad-supported and its scoring is fixed. OfficePoolJunkie is the most forgiving free choice thanks to autopicks, if ads are acceptable.
What Premier League prediction league software is free?
Superbru is free to play with apps and no member cap, but it is ad-supported and clearing the ads costs $3.49 per person per month. OfficePoolJunkie is free but carries ads that payments reduce in proportion. PoolTracker's free leagues carry banner ads and score only nightly, with upgrades from $25 for 10 players. Playoff Pick'Ems is free for one league of up to 10 members with full custom scoring and no ads.
How do you run a Premier League prediction league?
Create the league, choose the matchweek it starts, set what an exact score and a correct result are worth, and share the invite link. Predictions lock at each fixture's kick-off, results sync automatically, and both the season table and the current matchweek table update on their own.
How should you score a football prediction league?
Use two tiers: more points for the exact scoreline, fewer for the correct result. Without the exact tier, half the table ties by mid-season. Playoff Pick'Ems configures both values per league and freezes them once your starting matchweek kicks off; Superbru applies its own fixed scoring instead.
What happens when a Premier League fixture is postponed?
It keeps its original matchweek and is scored there whenever it is played, so that matchweek stays unfinished until the rearranged game happens. Playoff Pick'Ems models this directly — a matchweek is In Progress until every fixture is played or voided, then Final — which is why its weekly winner does not change depending on the calendar.
