Run a free Ligue 1 prediction league with your friends

BeTeam is a free app for running a private Ligue 1 prediction league: you and your friends predict the score of every match, and an automatic leaderboard tracks who knows French football best across the whole 2026-27 season. Kickoff is 23 August 2026 — no spreadsheets, no real money, just your group, one invite link, and bragging rights.

A quick definition: a Ligue 1 prediction league (in France, a group of pronostics or "pronos"; also called a predictor game or prediction pool) is a season-long game where each member forecasts match results before kickoff and earns points for accuracy. It is not betting — no money is staked and there are no odds. The reward is the leaderboard among people you know.

Why BeTeam is built for it

• The whole season, scored for you. All 306 Ligue 1 fixtures import automatically. Predictions lock at kickoff, results and points update live, and the leaderboard is always right — no admin, no arguments.
• Private and friends-first. A closed league with only the people you invite — your mates, your office, your family group chat — not a giant pool of strangers.
• One-link invites. Share a single link in WhatsApp and everyone joins in seconds. No codes to type, no signups to chase.
• No real money — ever. No deposits, no withdrawals, no cash prizes. Points and the leaderboard only, so it is safe for the office and the family.
• Beat the PSG consensus. When everyone picks the favorite, BeTeam's relative scoring can double the points of the few who called the upset — predicting against PSG finally pays.

How to start your league (before the first whistle)

1. Download BeTeam on the App Store or Google Play — free.
2. Create a league and choose the Ligue 1 2026-27 season. Every fixture loads automatically.

Key dates for the 2026-27 season

• Sunday 23 August 2026: opening matchday, the same weekend as Serie A — after LaLiga (16 August) and the Premier League (21 August).
• Le Classique weekends: PSG–Marseille — flag them as Super Games for double points.
• May 2027: final matchdays and the title run-in. Set your league up now so nobody misses journée 1.

Prediction league vs. the alternatives

Most groups run their pronos in a spreadsheet or a WhatsApp thread — both break the moment someone edits the wrong cell or the messages get buried. Public predictor sites drop you into an anonymous pool of thousands. BeTeam is the private, automatic, money-free middle ground built for a real friend group. If you're moving off another tool, see BeTeam as a Superbru alternative and BeTeam vs spreadsheets. Vous préférez le français ? Lisez le guide des pronostics Ligue 1 en français. Running it at work?
