Is CupRoute free to play?

Yes, completely free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no card details required.

Do I need an account to play?

Yes. Sign up with your email address and a password. No magic links, just a normal email and password login.

When do my picks lock?

Each fixture locks at its kick-off, just like a bet. You can change your prediction for a match as often as you like right up until then.

Can I change my picks before they lock?

Yes. Nothing is final until kick-off, so you can update a scoreline any time before then. Once a fixture kicks off, that pick is set.

When can other people see my picks?

Your predictions stay private until a fixture locks. After it locks (and once the round is scored) everyone in your mini-leagues can see what you went for on that match.

How does scoring work?

Score 5 points for an exact score, 3 points for the right winner and goal margin, and 1 point for the right result. An exact draw scores the full 5, any other correct draw call scores 1. A correct pick backed by fewer than 10% of players earns a +2 Bold bonus.

Each round you can star one fixture as your Banker, and its points are doubled for that round. It is optional, and you can move it between fixtures until that fixture locks.

Chips are optional boosts and you get one use of each per season. Double Chance lets you name two scorelines for every match in the round, any two you like, and whichever scores more is the one that counts, but you cannot use your Banker that round. Triple Banker makes your Banker score triple instead of double. You can only play one chip in a round, and either can be cancelled any time before the round deadline, the round's first kick-off.

How CupRoute works

Predict the score of every Premier League match, round by round. Bank points, play your chips, and beat your mates over the whole season.

Create your account

Three steps to play

Sign up in seconds

Create a free account with your email and a password. That is it, you are ready to predict your first round of Premier League fixtures.

Pick a score for every match

Each round, set a scoreline for every fixture. You can change a pick as often as you like right up until that match kicks off. Star one fixture as your Banker to double its points.

Score points and climb your leagues

Points land as results come in. Score 5 points for an exact score, 3 for the right winner and goal margin, and 1 for the right result. Create or join mini-leagues to see who really knows their football.

Points for getting it right

Every match is scored the same way, all season long.

Exact score5 pts
Winner and goal margin3 pts
Correct result1 pts
Anything else0 pts

Draws work the same way: an exact draw scores the full 5, and any other correct draw call scores 1. There is no margin tier for draws.

Boosts and chips

Bold bonus, +2 pts

When your pick lands and fewer than 10% of players backed that result you get +2 points.

Banker, points doubled

Star one fixture each round as your banker pick and its points are doubled.

Double Chance

One use per season. Name two scorelines for every match in the round, any two you like. Whichever scores more is the one that counts. You cannot use your Banker that round.

Triple Banker

One use per season. Your Banker scores triple that round instead of double.

You can only play one chip in a round, so the two can never be combined. Either one can be cancelled any time before the round deadline, the round's first kick-off.

Mini-leagues

The best part is beating people you know.
