The 2026/27 Predictions Challenge
The 2026/27 Predictions Challenge — Think You Know Your Football?
Category: Football | Published: May 2026
Every season, the conversations around grassroots and non-league football are the same. Someone knows who is going to win the title before a ball has been kicked. Someone else has already written off their team by October. Managers get judged, formations get debated, and predictions get made — usually loudly, usually with great confidence, and usually without anyone keeping score.
That felt like a missed opportunity.
Why We Built This
The Predictions Challenge came out of a straightforward idea: if you are going to call it, you should have to stand behind it.
As someone who spends most weekends on the touchline with a camera, I see the football week in and week out. The upsets, the dominant performances, the results that nobody saw coming. There is a lot of opinion in the game at this level — on social media, in the stands, in the clubhouse afterwards — and most of it evaporates by the following Saturday.
This challenge is a way of holding those predictions to account across a full season. It is not about being right every time. It is about being consistent, being honest with your calls, and seeing where you stand against everyone else who thinks they have a read on the game.
Whether you follow Histon FC, Girton Golf Club, or just stumbled across this site — if you have an opinion on football, you are welcome here.
How It Works
Each week during the 2026/27 season, we send out a set of predictions for you to take on. You make your calls, we track the results, and your points accumulate across the season on a running league table.
It is free to enter. There is no prize beyond the satisfaction of sitting at the top of the table come May — which, depending on who you ask, is worth quite a lot.
The League Table
The live standings are updated each week at:
The table shows your cumulative points total, your weekly position, and how many correct predictions you have made across the season. It updates on Monday mornings once all weekend results are confirmed.
If you want to share where you stand, the table is public — feel free to tag us at @matt6mee on Instagram or find us on Facebook when you climb the table.
Your Data — What We Use It For and What We Do Not
Your email address is the only piece of personal information we hold. It is used for one purpose: to send you the weekly predictions slip and, at the end of each round, your updated standings.
That is it.
Your email will never be used for marketing. It will never be passed to third parties. It will never be sold. We do not run newsletters, promotional campaigns, or sponsored content through this list. When the season ends, if you wish to be removed, one reply to any of our emails is all it takes.
For the full details of how your data is stored, processed, and protected, please read our privacy policy:
It covers your rights under UK GDPR, how long we hold your information, and how to request its removal at any time. If you have any questions before signing up, you are welcome to get in touch directly at hello@matt6mee.uk and we will answer them plainly.
One Last Thing
The first week of the challenge is always the most humbling. People who have been following football for decades suddenly find themselves second-guessing a League One fixture on a wet Tuesday night in November. That is part of what makes it interesting.
The best predictor over a full season is rarely the loudest voice at the start of it. Consistency, patience, and a willingness to go against the grain when the evidence supports it — that is what the table tends to reward by the end.
See you in the standings.
