Free prediction challenges. Real prizes. No partial credit.
PickProphecy runs free prediction challenges on major sporting events. Before each event begins, you submit a complete set of predictions — every game result, every advancing team, every outcome. If your predictions are perfect when the event ends, you win the full prize pool. If even one prediction is wrong, you do not win the prize. No partial credit. No consolation prizes. No splits.
The challenge is designed to be hard. Genuinely hard. Not frustrating or arbitrary — hard in the way that reflects how unpredictable sport actually is. The prize amounts are set accordingly.
Entering a PickProphecy challenge starts with creating a free account. No payment information is required. No subscription. Just an email address and a password. Your account stores your predictions and tracks your position on the leaderboard throughout the event.
Once entries are open, you work through the challenge picker — selecting which teams advance, which nations qualify, or which player gets drafted where, depending on the challenge. The picker shows you exactly how many selections you have made and how many remain. You can save your progress and return before the entry deadline.
Entries lock when the event begins. For the 2026 World Cup, entries lock at the first kickoff on June 11, 2026. After that, no changes can be made.
After entries lock, the real-time leaderboard goes live. You can track every result and see how your predictions are holding up. The leaderboard shows how many of your picks are still correct, how many have been eliminated, and where you rank among all entrants.
Most entrants will see their predictions diverge from reality within the first few rounds. The ones who survive into the later stages are the ones who got lucky, got smart, or both.
If your predictions are perfect when the event ends, you win. PickProphecy will contact you directly via the email on your account. Prize payment is processed within 30 days of the challenge closing date. You receive the full stated prize — we do not take a cut, charge fees, or split the prize unless two entrants achieve identical perfect predictions simultaneously, in which case the prize is shared equally.
Each challenge has its own prize pool, funded entirely by PickProphecy. Current active challenges:
Maximum possible prize from a single World Cup entry: $15,000.
