Why it's good for your workplace
Something to talk about together, every week, without anyone having to run it
A team night out is over by the next morning. A prediction league gives people a standing reason to talk, laugh and compete, all season long.
Connects departments
Engineering, sales and finance arguing about the same match. A light topic that brings together people who never work side by side.
A ritual every week
Predict before the weekend's games, talk about them over the weekend, check the table on Monday. A shared moment that comes back every week.
Zero work for you
Fixtures load themselves, picks lock at kick-off, points and the table update on their own. No spreadsheet, no chasing.
Free, no money, no betting
No entry fee, no kitty and no cash prizes. People compete for points and bragging rights. The prize, if there is one, comes from the company.
Open to everyone
A pick takes a few seconds on the phone. You don't need to be a fan to play, and a new starter joins mid-season with the same link.
Remote colleagues too
The table and the chat live in the app, so whoever is working from home today is still part of the conversation.
Not just football. The list is long and varied: leagues and competitions across seven sports. Open the league on whatever your office loves.
- Football
- Basketball
- Tennis
- American football
- Ice hockey
- Baseball
- Volleyball
What it looks like
A normal week in the office league
The screens here are real, from the app and from the TV screen. The names are made up.
-
Monday morning
The message lands in the office group
The champion sends a ready-made message with a link. Whoever taps it joins in a minute, from their phone. We've written the messages for you: launch, a reminder before the weekend, and results.
Illustration -
Until kick-off
Everyone predicts on their phone
Pick a score for each match, a few seconds a game. The pick locks the moment the match starts, so there's no way to cheat.
-
During the match and after
People talk about it
In the league chat, on Slack or Teams, in the office group and by the coffee machine. Who was right, who embarrassed themselves, who overtook whom.
-
All week
The table on the kitchen screen
Open a link in the browser of any screen in the office, and that's it: the table updates itself, with a countdown to the next match and a QR code to join.
-
End of the month
Announce the winner, and the company treats them
The champion announces who's on top, and the prize comes from you: lunch, a coffee voucher or a trophy for the shelf. An A4 poster with the prize and a QR code hangs on the kitchen wall, so anyone who hasn't joined yet still can.

Office prediction league: the full answer
Want an office prediction league — the office football pool, minus the cash? With BeTeam you open a private league for your team in a few minutes: everyone predicts scores on their phone, points are calculated automatically and a live table runs all season. No money — so no questions from HR; no spreadsheet — so no file that falls apart. Premier League, Champions League, NBA and hundreds more competitions.
A quick definition: an office prediction league is an internal competition in which every participant predicts the scores of real matches before they start and earns points for accuracy. The prize is the table and bragging rights by the coffee machine — not money, which makes it a team-building activity, not a bet.

How to open one

- Hand it to the champion — you immediately get a link for your people, an A4 poster with a QR code, a live table screen for the TV and ready-made messages. Send the personal organiser link on WhatsApp to the colleague who loves football most, and they run the league.

Tips for the organiser
Open the league on a competition most of the team follows — in the UK that's usually the Premier League or the Champions League. Set a small prize for the monthly winner, not just for the end of the season, so even someone who started badly comes back to predict next month. Add bonus questions and double-points matches, and close the season with a proper announcement by the coffee machine. Want the basics of the prediction game itself?

Football fans predict the Premier League, and NBA fans open a league of their own in the same app — see the NBA office pool.
Questions and answers
How do you set up an office prediction league?
Fill in the form on this page: company name, what you'll predict and an email. The league opens straight away in BeTeam (free, iOS and Android, in 19 languages), and you get a link for your people, a poster for the kitchen, a table screen for the TV and ready-made messages. Everyone predicts on their phone before each match, points are calculated automatically and the table updates itself.
Is an office prediction league gambling?
BeTeam has no real money at all — no deposits, no entry fees and no cash prizes. People predict for points and a place in the table only, so it's a social team-building activity, not a bet. If there's a prize, it comes from the company, like lunch for the monthly winner.
How much time does it take from HR?
A minute for the form, and zero upkeep after that: fixtures load automatically, picks lock at kick-off, points are calculated from the real results and the table updates itself. The social side — reminders, banter and announcing the winner — is run by one colleague who loves football, with ready-made messages.
What does it cost the company?
Nothing. BeTeam is free for every employee and there's no entry fee. A prize is optional; if you want one, it comes from you — lunch, a voucher or a trophy for the shelf.
Do we need to involve IT?
No. Each employee downloads the free app to their own phone (iPhone or Android) and joins with the link. The kitchen screen is an ordinary web page that opens in any browser.
Can people join the league mid-season?
Yes. A new starter or a late joiner uses the same link and starts scoring from the next matches. You can also run several leagues side by side — say the Premier League for one team and the NBA for another.
