Germany · English organiser guide

Run a Bundesliga prediction league

Follow Germany’s top division through an English-language competition for friends, colleagues, a club or pub. Choose the live open league or create a private version for your own group.

Opening round

Season format

18 clubs · 34 matchdays

Official timing

Matchday one runs from 28–30 August 2026. The fixture order is published, while exact kickoff times for later rounds are confirmed in phases.

Organise by matchday

Name each ScoreSocial gameweek after the official matchday so Friday, Saturday and Sunday fixtures remain together. Confirm the first kickoff after detailed timings are released rather than relying on the original matchday date alone.

Use the winter break

The pause is a natural moment to share standings, repeat the rules and check that returning players can still enter. Keep season points intact unless a two-part competition was explicitly agreed before matchday one.

Keep the English experience consistent

Use the official English-language calendar as the factual source, then write reminders and league rules in plain English. Players get one clear deadline without ScoreSocial implying that it is an official competition service.

State how changes work

Explain whether a postponed fixture remains attached to its original matchday and what happens when it is played much later. Use the same approach throughout the season. ScoreSocial is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bundesliga or DFL.
