Play BBC Sport's new Match of the Day Predictor game

BBC Sport has launched a new game called Match of the Day Predictor to keep football fans engaged throughout the new season. Drawing inspiration from their popular World Cup Predictor game, this new addition allows players to predict the outcomes of six selected matches from domestic and European competitions each week. Players can join the game at any time, getting involved in the latest round and aiming to build a winning streak.

To play, participants predict the result of the six matches, selecting either a winner or a draw (with the exception of knockout games where only winner options are provided). Once predictions are submitted, players can view how others anticipate the match results. The game rounds commence on Fridays, with the deadline to submit predictions being the kick-off time of the first match. Throughout the week, players have ample time to make their predictions before the round begins.

In addition to the prediction feature, the new game includes a streaks element. For every consecutive round a player participates in, their streak is incremented by one. However, if a player misses a round, their streak resets to zero. To access the game, simply select "How to Play" to learn the rules and guidelines. Keep in mind that once a prediction is submitted, it cannot be changed, so players must choose their selections carefully. After the match results are announced, players can assess how accurate their predictions were.
