Tip a whole matchday in 30 seconds

Eight matches on one screen. Call the exact score for each — 2:1, 0:0, whatever you believe — and optionally the home team's possession % as a tiebreaker.

  • Tips stay editable until 10 minutes before each kickoff
  • Closest scoreline wins the head-to-head
  • Autosave — no submit anxiety, no lost slips

Every match is a duel — watch it settle live

Each match pairs you against one other manager. The closer your scoreline is to the real result, the more likely you win the tie — and the leaderboard moves at the final whistle while the pundits are still talking.

  • Group matches: level on scoreline closeness is a genuine draw — a point each.
  • Knockout matches: a tie can't end level, so the possession % call breaks it — whoever's closer on the home team's ball-possession share advances.
  • Results and standings update live as real matches finish.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tipmaster Football Manager free?

Yes — 100% free. No subscription, no app, no download, no credit card. Open it in your browser and start predicting. Tipmaster has run as a community prediction game since 1997.

How does it work?

Pick a team, then predict the real scoreline of every match in the cup run. You go head-to-head against the manager of the opposing team — whoever calls the real result more accurately wins the duel and advances. Climb the bracket from the group stage to the final.

What happens if my team is knocked out early?

You keep playing in placement rounds. Every place is decided, from champion to last place, so eliminated managers keep predicting real matches to the end.
