Matchday in your bar
One match. A full room. A reason to come back.
What a single matchday looks like once your league is running.
- Before kickoff They scan the sign One QR code on your wall. Free, and no account with you.
- At kickoff They guess the scores On their phone, before kickoff. Closest guess scores most.
- During the match The table runs on your screen And they come back every week to climb it.
- Half-time You crown the winner One small prize at half-time. That is the whole ceremony.
- Next week You bring them back Your league has a chat: tell everyone the derby is on tonight.
Pick the competition your crowd follows
Whatever your regulars already come in to watch — the league runs on that. These are the ones venues pick most, and there are 11,800+ in all.
…and 11,800+ more, across football, basketball and the US sports. See the full list of competitions.
What it does for your matchdays
Five things, and only the last one is the game. The rest is what a venue gets to keep.
A line straight to your regulars — the part nobody expects
Everyone who scans your sign lands in your league, and your league has a group chat.
That is a list of the people who drink in your bar, in your pocket, that you can message on a
quiet Tuesday. No mailing list, no ads, no algorithm deciding who sees it. Tell them the derby
is on the big screen and put a prize behind it — the ones who answer are the ones already
walking over.
Your name on their phone all week
The league is called after your bar. Every time someone checks the table, makes a pick or gets
a result, that is your name in their hand — between visits, without you paying for the
impression.
A reason to come back on a specific night
Predictions lock at kickoff. Someone with points on the line does not watch the match at home
— they watch it where the table is on the screen and the winner gets announced.
A ritual that costs one small prize
Announce the weekly winner at half-time. That is the whole ceremony, and it is the cheapest
loyalty scheme in the building: no card, no app of your own, no sign-up with you.
And the football does the work
It runs alongside the fixtures you already show. Unlike a quiz night it needs no host,
takes no evening, and competes with nothing.
The format is proven at scale: BeTeam players have already made more than 280,000 predictions, and the same engine runs a league for one bar.
Pub quiz, sweepstake or a prediction league?
Three ways to give a room a reason to come back. They do different jobs; here is how they compare for a bar.
| Pub quiz | Sweepstake | Prediction league | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost to the bar | A host or staff time, plus prizes | Little, but someone collects and pays out | Nothing |
| Staff time | A whole evening, every week | The draw, the money, the payout | None: fixtures and points run themselves |
| How long it lasts | One night | One tournament, until your team goes out | The whole season |
| Brings people back | On quiz night | While their team is still in | Every matchday, to defend their place |
| Money involved | Often an entry fee | Yes, a pot: gambling rules apply | None: no entry fee, no pot |
How it works
- Tell us your venue and competition. Your bar's name, your city, and the competition your crowd follows — the Champions League, the Premier League, your domestic league, or any of 11,800+ competitions. It takes about a minute.
- Your league is built while you wait. Named after your bar, on the competition you picked, with the fixtures already loaded — and a printable sign carrying your own QR code, on screen before you close the tab.
- Customers scan and join. A customer points their phone camera at the sign, installs the free app, and lands directly in your league. Entry is free — no payment details, no membership, no account with the bar.
- Predict, watch the table, crown a winner. Predictions lock at kickoff and scoring runs itself from live results. The leaderboard moves on your screen during the match; you announce the weekly winner at half-time.
Who does what
We handle
- Setting the league up
- Fixtures, scoring, the table
- Your printed sign with its QR code
- The TV leaderboard page
- Rolling it into the next round
You handle
- Hanging the sign
- Announcing the winner
- A small prize, if you want one
That split is the point. A bartender is not going to administer a league, so nothing about the format asks them to. There is no venue dashboard to learn, no fixtures to enter, and no results to settle — if the bar does nothing at all in a given week, the league still runs correctly.
Frequently asked questions
How can a sports bar run a football prediction league for its regulars?
BeTeam for Bars is free: your regulars predict the scores of the matches you are already showing, and a live table on the venue screen ranks them. Setup is a QR code on the table or the screen — no app for the venue to install, no staff time on matchday, and no money involved.
What can a pub do to get football customers coming back on matchdays?
Give them a reason to be in this room rather than any other: a season-long prediction league scoped to your venue, where the table on your screen only ranks your regulars. Whoever is winning comes back to defend it, and whoever is losing comes back to catch up — which is the thing a matchday screen alone cannot do.
What does the bar actually get out of it?
Four things. A reason for regulars to come back on a specific night, because predictions lock at kickoff. The venue's name on their phone between visits, because the league is named after it. A weekly ritual that costs one small prize. And a direct line to the people who joined: the league has a group chat, so the venue can tell everyone in it that tonight's match is on its screens — a channel to its own customers with no mailing list, no ads and no algorithm in between.
Is a prediction league for a bar considered gambling?
Not on BeTeam. Entry to a venue league is free and nobody wagers money in the app — players earn points for accurate predictions. There are no deposits, no odds and no cash payouts. If the bar wants to reward its weekly winner, it does so as its own promotion, outside the app, exactly as it would with a free prize draw. Local rules on promotions still apply, so check them for your country.
What does it cost the venue?
Nothing. There is no fee, no contract and no software for the venue to run. The only optional cost is a prize the bar chooses to give its weekly winner, such as a meal, a voucher or a team shirt.
Do I need a screen to run it?
No. The league works with nothing but the printed sign. A screen makes it considerably better: the live leaderboard page runs in any browser, so a spare TV or a tablet on the bar shows customers their name climbing the table while the match is on.
Do customers have to download an app?
Yes — scanning the sign leads to the free BeTeam app on iOS or Android, and the customer lands straight in the bar's league after installing. There is no account with the venue, no payment details and no loyalty card.
Which competitions can a bar league follow?
Any of 11,800+ competitions, including the Champions League, the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and major national leagues, plus basketball competitions such as the NBA and EuroLeague. Most venues pick the competition their regulars already come in to watch.
How many customers can join one bar league?
A single league holds up to 200 players. Busy venues are split across linked leagues so everyone keeps a table they can realistically win.
Who runs the league week to week?
BeTeam does. Fixtures import automatically, predictions lock at kickoff, and scoring updates from live results without anyone entering anything. The venue's only recurring job is announcing the winner and rolling the league into the next round, which we prompt and prepare.
Is this a free alternative to a pub sweepstake?
Yes — the same idea with no money and no draw. In a sweepstake everyone pays in and luck picks the winner; in a BeTeam bar league everyone joins free, predicts real scores, and skill climbs a table that runs all season. There is nothing to collect, nothing to pay out and no cash involved.
Can a prediction league replace a quiz night?
It solves a different problem with none of the overhead. A quiz needs a host, a quiet room and its own evening; a prediction league runs alongside the football the venue already shows — no host, no slot, no staff time. Venues that run both keep the quiz for its night and let the league own every matchday.
How is it different from a football card game?
A football card is one match, one grid, cash in the middle. A BeTeam bar league covers every fixture in the competition, runs on skill rather than luck, and involves no money — and instead of a filled-in card the venue gets a live leaderboard on its screen with the regulars' names on it.
What's a good matchday promotion for a small pub with no budget?
A venue prediction league — it is free and needs no staff. It gives people a reason to watch in this room rather than any other: their name is on the venue's screen and their points are on the line. The only optional spend is a small prize for the weekly winner.
Is it legal for a bar to run a prediction league or a sweepstake?
It depends on the country, and mostly on money. A league that is free to enter, with no pot and points only, avoids the payment that most gambling laws turn on; paid sweepstakes and pools are restricted in many places. BeTeam has no entry fee, no pot and no payouts. Our country-by-country notes explain the rules in more detail. This is general information, not legal advice.
