How to Play Correct Score Game

Create Your Free Account

You need an account so Correct Score Game can save your predictions, calculate your points and place you on the relevant leaderboards.

Registration is free. Once your account is ready, you can predict Premier League fixtures, join private leagues and follow your progress across the season.

Choose a display name that you are happy for other players to see. Your display name appears on global and private league leaderboards. Your personal account details remain separate.

Predict Every Premier League Fixture

Each Gameweek contains the Premier League matches scheduled for that round of fixtures. Your job is to predict the exact final score of every available match.

If you believe the home team will win by two goals to one, enter a prediction of 2-1. If you expect a close match with no winner, you might choose 0-0 or 1-1.

There is no guaranteed way to predict football scores. Some players study recent form, injuries and likely team selections. Others rely more heavily on instinct. Most football fans use a combination of both.

Predicting every available fixture gives you the best chance to earn points and compete across the full Gameweek.

Submit Predictions Before Kick-Off

Every prediction must be submitted before the relevant fixture begins. The match locks at kick-off so nobody can enter or change a prediction once play has started.

It is sensible to complete your predictions early, particularly during busy periods when Premier League matches may be spread across several days.

You can return before kick-off to review your choices and make changes while a fixture remains open. Once the match starts, your prediction is final.

Always check that your selections have saved correctly before leaving the Gameweek page.

How Points Are Awarded

Points are awarded according to how closely your prediction matches the final score.

• 5 points for predicting the exact final score.
• 3 points for a close and correct prediction.
• 2 points for predicting the correct match result.
• 1 point for a close miss.

An exact score earns the maximum return, but you can still collect points when you correctly read the result or come close to the final scoreline.

A late goal can completely change what you earn from a match. It might turn a correct result into an exact score, or move your prediction into a different points category.

Gameweek Scores and Season Totals

The points you earn from each fixture are added together to create your Gameweek score.

Your Gameweek total shows how well you predicted that round of Premier League matches. It also contributes to your season score, which continues to grow as more fixtures are completed.

A brilliant weekend can send you quickly up the standings, but the season leaderboard rewards players who keep making good predictions over many Gameweeks.

Missing one round does not stop you from continuing, but entering every Gameweek gives you more opportunities to earn points and maintain your league position.

Compete on the Global Leaderboard

Every registered player can compare their season performance on the global leaderboard.

The table shows how your total score compares with other players across the Correct Score Game community. As results are confirmed and points are calculated, positions can change throughout the Gameweek.

The global standings give every prediction added importance. Even if you are not part of a private league, you still have a season-long competition to follow.

Join a Private League

Private leagues allow you to compete directly with people you know. They are ideal for friends, families, workplaces, football teams, supporter groups and online communities.

To join an existing private league, enter the invitation code shared by the league owner. Once you have joined, your points will count towards that league table as well as your global total.

You do not need to submit a different set of predictions for every league. The same Premier League predictions contribute to each eligible competition linked to your account.

Learn more about invitations, league tables and league management on the Private Leagues page.

Create Your Own Private League

You can also create a private league and invite other players to join.

After creating the league, share its invitation code with the friends, relatives or colleagues you want to compete against.

League owners can manage their competition and moderate discussion. If members choose to arrange a prize between themselves, that prize is organised independently. Correct Score Game does not fund, guarantee or administer private league prizes.

Use Team News Before Making Your Picks

Good predictions are often based on more than league position. Injuries, suspensions, recent performances, likely line-ups and fixture congestion can all affect what happens on the pitch.

A team that looked strong last weekend may face a completely different challenge in its next match. A missing centre-forward, goalkeeper or first-choice defender can change the likely scoreline.

Correct Score Game provides team news and match information to help players consider the important details before making their own decisions. The final prediction is always yours.

What Happens When Fixtures Change?

Premier League fixtures can occasionally be moved, postponed, abandoned or rearranged.

When a kick-off time changes before the match begins, the prediction deadline should move to the updated fixture time displayed within the game.

If a match is postponed or abandoned after predictions have been entered, its treatment will follow the current game rules and the confirmed status of the fixture. Important updates affecting players will be shown on the platform where possible.

Tips for New Players

There is no perfect method for predicting football scores, but a few sensible habits can help you make better-informed choices.

• Complete your predictions early so you do not miss a deadline.
• Review your choices when fresh team news becomes available.
• Consider how both teams have been playing, not only their league positions.
• Think about injuries, suspensions and changes to likely starting line-ups.
• Do not assume every favourite will win comfortably. Premier League football is rarely that simple.
• Keep playing after a difficult Gameweek. League positions can change quickly across a full season.

Players should use one genuine account, submit their own predictions and treat other members respectfully.
