Football Prediction Competition — Coming Soon

Think you can call the score? Our football prediction competition launches this Thursday, with a few test events running earlier this week to get you warmed up and familiar with how it works.

For every match, predict the final score and the minute the first goal is scored. Get it right and you could be walking away with some great prizes — including England shirts, full-size footballs, mini footballs, scooters, Airpods and Lego. A new prize is up for grabs with every match, so the more you play, the more chances you have to win.

The competition is open to all registered customers. Prizes are available to UK mainland customers only.

Also new for 2026 — you can now play along in the UC App! Download from the App Store

The Rules

  • One entry per match, per account.
  • Entries open at 8am on the last working day before kick-off and close at kick-off.
  • Scores are taken at the end of normal time (90 minutes plus added time). Extra time and penalties do not count.
  • Goals scored in added time count as the base minute — for example, a goal at 45+2 is recorded as minute 45, and 90+3 is recorded as minute 90.
  • 0-0 predictions are not allowed.
  • Points are awarded for correct match result, correct score, and closest first-goal prediction.
