How should draws be scored?

Either as a third pickable outcome or as a result that pays nobody. Three-way tipping fits football better: roughly a quarter of Premier League matches finish level, so a two-way competition effectively discards a large chunk of the fixture list. If your audience already tips an Australian code, two-way is easier to introduce, but expect the question by Christmas.

What happens when a fixture is postponed?

You choose the rule before matchweek one: void the fixture for that round, carry it into the round it's eventually played, or score it retrospectively when it happens. Postponements are routine in a season built around European fixtures and domestic cups, so this is a rule you will use, not a hypothetical.

Do the kick-off times show in Australian time?

Yes. Fixtures, lock countdowns and reminders all render in your audience's time zone. A Saturday afternoon match in England shows as an early Sunday morning lock here, and the reminder 24 hours before goes out at a sensible Australian hour.

Can we run the Premier League alongside an Australian code?

Yes. The Premier League season runs August to May, which overlaps both Australian football codes and the whole Big Bash summer. Run them as separate competitions on one hub with one participant list. Starter at A$39 a month covers three concurrent competitions.

Free for up to 25 participants with no credit card. Starter is A$39 a month for 100, Growth A$65 for 250, Pro A$105 for 500 and Scale A$169 for 1,000. All Australian dollars, including GST. Over a 38-matchweek season, branding and your own domain are the usual reason to move up rather than participant numbers.

The 2026-27 Premier League, at a glance.

Clubs and matches: 20 clubs, 38 matchweeks, 380 matches. Every club plays every other club home and away.
Opening round: Friday 21 August 2026. A week later than usual, giving clubs 33 clear days after the FIFA World Cup 26 final.
Season shape: 33 weekends and five midweek match rounds. The weekend rhythm breaks five separate times across the season.
Festive period: No two match rounds within 60 hours over Christmas and New Year, so the traditional pile-up is spaced but still tight.
Final day: Sunday 30 May 2027. All ten matches kick off simultaneously, so the last matchweek is a single lock rather than a spread.
The draw: A live third outcome in every fixture. Unlike the Australian codes, a level scoreline is a normal result rather than a once-a-season curiosity.
Australian kick-off times: UK fixtures land overnight in Australia. A round that closes on a Saturday afternoon in England closes in the small hours here.

What a matchweek looks like from Australia.

Fixtures arrive already converted.

Every match in the matchweek appears in your hub from the live data feed with kick-off times and lock countdowns in your audience's time zone, not the venue's. Nobody has to do the overnight arithmetic in their head at 11pm on a Friday.
Tips lock at each kick-off, across three or four days.

A Premier League matchweek runs Friday night through Monday night in the UK, which is Saturday morning through Tuesday morning here. Fixtures close individually, so a late Monday game stays open long after the Saturday ones are done. Reminders land 24 hours before the first lock and again 75 minutes before.
Results score overnight and the leaderboard is there in the morning.

Matches finish while your audience is asleep. Scores post as each one ends, and by the time anyone opens their phone the standings have already moved. The recap arrives with breakfast rather than after it.

The arguments every Premier League tipping organiser has.

Football breaks the two-outcome assumption every Australian code is built on, and the Premier League calendar breaks the one-round-a-weekend assumption five times a season.

The draw is a third outcome, and it changes all the maths.

Two-way tipping, where a draw counts as a loss for everyone, rewards backing favourites and makes half the fixture list uninteresting. Three-way tipping, home, draw or away, makes the draw a real call and rewards people who actually watch. Most organisers who move from Australian codes to the Premier League start two-way and switch by Christmas. Decide up front whether a correct draw is worth more than a correct favourite, because it probably should be.

Five midweek rounds compress your deadlines without warning.

The 2026-27 season carries 33 weekends and five midweek match rounds. Five times a season, a round opens on a Tuesday and closes on a Thursday. Your audience's habit is built around a weekend, so those five rounds are where participation drops hardest. Push an extra reminder into every one of them.

Postponements are normal, and they need a rule.

Cup runs, European commitments and weather move fixtures out of their matchweek all season. Decide now whether a postponed match is voided for that round, carried into the round it's eventually played in, or scored retrospectively when it happens. The third option is the fairest and the most confusing, so if you choose it, say so clearly in matchweek one.

Goal difference is too small to be a weekly scoring mechanic.

Most Premier League matches are decided by one or two goals, so a margin prediction has a usable range of about zero to four. That makes it a decent season tiebreaker on cumulative accuracy and a poor way to score a round. Use margin the way it's designed: on one designated fixture per round, settling the season rather than deciding it week to week.

Set your locks in your audience's time zone, not England's.

A 3pm Saturday kick-off in England is the middle of the night here. If someone means to tip on Saturday evening Australian time, half the round is already gone. Fixture-level locks plus a reminder 24 hours out are what stop an overnight competition from quietly losing its field in September.

Formats that suit a 38-matchweek season.

Three-way tipping

Home, draw or away in every fixture. The format that fits football rather than the one imported from footy, and the one that keeps the mid-table fixtures worth thinking about.

Two-way tipping

Pick a winner, a draw pays nobody. Simpler to explain to an audience that already tips an Australian code, at the cost of making a third of the season a formality.

Last man standing

One club a matchweek, never twice. With 20 clubs and 38 matchweeks, a survivor competition can genuinely run into spring, which makes it a much longer format here than in the Australian codes.

Cup and knockout brackets

The domestic cups and the European competitions are knockout tournaments sitting alongside the league. Run them as brackets on the same hub and pick up the weeks the league is idle.
