European football tipping

Nobody else runs a white-label tipping competition across European league football.

The Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, the Eredivisie, Belgium, Austria and the Champions League, in one hub, on one leaderboard, under your brand. Seven league calendars that do not agree with each other about anything, and one competition that does not care.

Free to start. No credit card.

The 2026/27 European season, at a glance.

Bundesliga
Eighteen clubs, 34 matchdays. Opens 28 to 30 August 2026 and closes on 22 May 2027, with a winter break after matchday 14 running from 18 December to 8 January.
La Liga
Twenty clubs, 38 matchdays. Opens 15 August 2026 and closes 30 May 2027, playing through Christmas and New Year with only a short pause.
Serie A
Twenty clubs, 38 matchdays. Opens 23 August 2026 and closes 30 May 2027, a week later than usual, with the autumn international windows compressed into one two-week break and one single week.
Ligue 1
Eighteen clubs, 34 matchdays. Opens 21 August 2026 and closes 29 May 2027. The winter break starts after matchday 14 on the weekend of 12 December and the season resumes on the weekend of 2 January.
Eredivisie
Eighteen clubs, 34 matchdays, from 7 August 2026 to 23 May 2027. Breaks after 20 December and returns on 8 January, and for the first time the September and October international windows are combined into two consecutive blank weekends.
Belgian Pro League
Eighteen clubs and 34 matchdays from 2026/27, a straight round robin with no play-offs and no halved points for the first time since 2009. Runs 7 August 2026 to 23 May 2027.
Austrian Bundesliga
Twelve clubs playing 22 rounds, then a split into a championship six and a relegation six for ten more matches each. Thirty-two matchdays in total, and half of them against a field you do not know when the season starts.
Champions League
Thirty-six clubs in one table since 2024/25. Each club plays eight matches against eight different opponents, four home and four away. The top eight go straight to the round of 16, ninth to twenty-fourth play a two-legged play-off for the other eight places, and twenty-fifth down is out.
Winter
Germany, France and the Netherlands stop for weeks. Spain and Italy barely pause. England does not stop at all. There is no single European mid-season.

What one hub across seven leagues looks like.

  1. Pick the leagues, not the fixtures.

    Turn on the Bundesliga, or all seven, or the Champions League on its own. Every fixture, kick-off time and lock countdown arrives from the live data feed in your audience's time zone rather than the venue's, so nobody in Australia is doing overnight arithmetic on a Friday night.

  2. Your audience tips whichever leagues they follow.

    Somebody who only watches La Liga plays La Liga. Somebody who watches everything plays everything. Each league carries its own leaderboard, and the combined ladder sits across the top of all of them.

  3. Results score overnight, in every country at once.

    European matches finish while your audience is asleep. Scores post as each one ends, and by the time anyone opens their phone the standings across all seven competitions have already moved.

What breaks the moment you run more than one league.

A single-league tipping competition has one calendar and one round shape. Seven of them have seven, and they disagree about matchday counts, winter breaks and even whether the season is a straight round robin. Every scoring decision below comes out of that.

The matchday counts do not line up, and a naive combined ladder rewards the wrong league.

Thirty-eight matchdays in Spain and Italy, 34 in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium, 32 in Austria. On flat points per correct tip, somebody who picks La Liga has four more matchdays of scoring opportunity than somebody who picks the Bundesliga and wins your combined leaderboard on volume rather than judgement. Either normalise by matchdays played, score each league on its own ladder, or cap how many leagues one person can enter.

The draw is a third outcome, everywhere on this page.

Every Australian code is built on two outcomes. European football is not, and a level scoreline is a normal result rather than a curiosity. Two-way tipping that treats a draw as a loss rewards backing favourites and makes half the fixture list uninteresting. Three-way tipping, home, draw or away, makes the draw a real call. Decide up front whether a correct draw is worth more than a correct favourite, because it probably should be.

The winter breaks fall in different weeks, so there is no quiet month.

Germany, France and the Netherlands stop somewhere between mid and late December and come back in the first week of January. Spain and Italy keep playing. Run a combined round across all seven and January produces rounds that are empty for three leagues and full for two. Either let each league keep its own round numbering, or accept that your hub's quiet fortnight is the Eredivisie's and nobody else's.

The Champions League league phase is not a group stage, and it does not tip like one.

Thirty-six clubs, eight matches each, eight different opponents, one table. No two clubs share a fixture list, so there is no symmetric group to compare anybody against, and a club's position in the table is not a direct comparison with the club above it. Tip it as eight individual match rounds against one combined standings table, not as six groups of four.

The Champions League turns into a bracket in February, and that is a different competition.

The top eight are seeded straight into the round of 16. Ninth to twenty-fourth play a two-legged play-off for the other eight places. From there it is a knockout tree to the final. Decide before the league phase ends whether your tipping competition carries into the knockouts or whether February opens as a bracket, because switching format in the middle of a season is how organisers lose people.

Austria splits its season in half, and that catches people out.

After 22 rounds, the twelve clubs divide into a championship six and a relegation six and play ten more matches against a field nobody could name in August. Your fixture list stops being a round robin at that point. The feed handles it, but your participants should be told it is coming rather than discovering it in March.

Formats that suit a multi-league season.

Season-long tipping, per league

A result in every match, every matchday, across whichever leagues you switch on. Three-way tipping so the draw counts, with a separate ladder per league and one combined ladder over the top.

Champions League bracket

The league phase resolves into a seeded knockout tree from the play-off round onward. Fill it in once in February and watch it survive.

Last man standing

One club a matchday, never twice, one wrong call and you are out. Across seven leagues the pool of clubs is deep enough that it can run for months.

Single-league competitions

One league, one leaderboard, nothing else. The right call for a supporters' group or a club with one allegiance rather than a broad European audience.

Why run your European football competition on Fanzava.

This product does not exist anywhere else.

Tipping platforms are built around one country's code. Nobody offers a white-label competition that runs the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, the Eredivisie, Belgium, Austria and the Champions League together, under your brand, on one leaderboard. That is the whole reason this page exists.

Every one of these leagues is on the live data feed.

Fixtures, kick-off times, locks and results arrive automatically for all seven leagues and the Champions League, including the Austrian split and the Champions League play-off round. No manual fixture entry, at any point, for any of them.

One hub, several leagues, one leaderboard.

Each league runs as its own competition with its own scoring, and the combined ladder sits across all of them. Groups by office, branch, city or supporter club run alongside, so a Serie A supporter and a Bundesliga supporter are still in the same competition.

Your logo, your colours, your domain.

White label on every paid plan. Pro and above run on a custom domain with a custom email sender, so the overnight recap from eight competitions arrives from your brand and nobody sees a Fanzava logo at any point.

Questions European football organisers ask.

Can one competition cover several leagues at once?
Yes, and that is the point of this page. Switch on the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, the Eredivisie, the Belgian Pro League, the Austrian Bundesliga and the Champions League in any combination. Each gets its own ladder and the combined leaderboard runs across all of them.
How do you handle leagues with different numbers of matchdays?
Spain and Italy play 38 matchdays, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium play 34, and Austria plays 32. On flat scoring that hands the combined leaderboard to whoever picked the longest league. Normalise by matchdays played, keep a separate ladder per league, or limit how many leagues one participant can enter. All three are competition settings.
What happens during the winter breaks?
Nothing breaks, but nothing lines up either. Germany, France and the Netherlands stop for around three weeks from mid or late December. Spain and Italy keep playing. If you run combined rounds, January will produce rounds that are empty for some leagues and full for others, so most organisers let each league keep its own matchday numbering.
How does the new Champions League format work for tipping?
Thirty-six clubs sit in one table and each plays eight matches against eight different opponents, four at home and four away. Tip it as eight match rounds scored into a single standings table. From there the top eight go straight to the round of 16 and ninth to twenty-fourth play a two-legged play-off, which is where it becomes a bracket rather than a tipping competition.
What does it cost?
Free for up to 25 participants with no credit card. Starter is A$39 a month for 100 participants, Growth A$65 for 250 and Pro A$105 for 500, all in Australian dollars including GST. Running seven leagues costs the same as running one, because you are charged on participants rather than competitions.
