How UEFA Champions League pools work

Exact-score predictions

Predict the final score of every match across the eight league-phase matchdays. Eighteen games a matchday, one shared table — the closer your call, the more you earn.

Personalized point tiers

Exact score, correct winner + goal difference, correct draw, correct winner — each tier has its own point value, and the pool owner personalizes them when creating the pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Champions League pools work on Pickster?

Create a private pool, invite your crew, and predict the exact score of every match across the eight league-phase matchdays. Accuracy tiers award the points and standings update live.

When does the 2026-27 Champions League start?

The league phase kicks off on September 8, 2026 and runs through to January 27, 2027. Pools are open in the app now — download Pickster free and set yours up before the first whistle.

What is the league phase?

Since 2024-25 there are no groups. All 36 clubs sit in one combined table and each plays eight different opponents across eight matchdays. Finish top and you go straight through; finish in the middle and you face a play-off round; finish at the bottom and you are out.

How does scoring work?

Every pick is an exact-score prediction. Points come in tiers (exact score, correct winner + goal difference, correct draw, correct winner) and the pool owner personalizes each tier value when creating the pool.

Is it free?

Yes. Creating and playing in pools is free. Pool owners can optionally upgrade a pool to Pickster+ ($9.99 per pool, per season for this competition) for unlimited members and advanced tools.

Do league-phase matches go to extra time?

No. League-phase matches are decided over 90 minutes plus stoppage time, and that is the result your pick is scored against. Draws are a normal outcome. Extra time and penalties only appear later, in the knockout rounds.
