Can one pool 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 leaderboard 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. Normalize by matchdays played, keep a separate leaderboard per league, or limit how many leagues one player 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 organizers let each league keep its own matchday numbering.

How does the new Champions League format work for a pool?

Thirty-six clubs sit in one table and each plays eight matches against eight different opponents, four at home and four away. Pick 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 playoff, which is where it becomes a bracket rather than a pick'em.

Free for up to 25 players with no credit card. Paid plans are billed in Australian dollars, and the pricing page lists each plan's price and player cap. Running seven leagues costs the same as running one, because you are charged on players rather than competitions.

European soccer pools

Nobody else runs a white-label pick'em pool across European league soccer.

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 pool that does not care.

The 2026/27 European season, at a glance.

Bundesliga: Eighteen clubs, 34 matchdays. Opens August 28 to 30, 2026 and closes on May 22, 2027, with a winter break after matchday 14 running from December 18 to January 8.
La Liga: Twenty clubs, 38 matchdays. Opens August 15, 2026 and closes May 30, 2027, playing through Christmas and New Year with only a short pause.
Serie A: Twenty clubs, 38 matchdays. Opens August 23, 2026 and closes May 30, 2027, a week later than usual, with the fall international windows compressed into one two-week break and one single week.
Ligue 1: Eighteen clubs, 34 matchdays. Opens August 21, 2026 and closes May 29, 2027. The winter break starts after matchday 14 on the weekend of December 12 and the season resumes on the weekend of January 2.
Eredivisie: Eighteen clubs, 34 matchdays, from August 7, 2026 to May 23, 2027. Breaks after December 20 and returns on January 8, 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 playoffs and no halved points for the first time since 2009. Runs August 7, 2026 to May 23, 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 playoff 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.
On a Canadian clock: Weekend matches land from early morning to mid-afternoon Eastern and before lunch Pacific. The Champions League's evening kickoffs in Europe are mid-afternoon in Toronto and lunchtime in Vancouver.

What one hub across seven leagues looks like.

Pick the leagues, not the fixtures.

Turn on the Bundesliga, or all seven, or the Champions League on its own. Every match, kickoff time and lock countdown arrives from the live data feed in each player's own time zone rather than the stadium's, so nobody in Winnipeg is converting Central European time on a Friday night.
Your players pick 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 standings sit across the top of all of them.
Results score before the weekend is half over.

Most European matches finish by early afternoon in the east. Scores post as each one ends, and by the time anyone checks their phone the standings across all seven competitions have already moved.

What breaks the moment you run more than one league.

A single-league pool has one calendar and one round shape. Seven leagues 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 leaderboard 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 pick, 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 judgment. Either normalize by matchdays played, score each league on its own leaderboard, or cap how many leagues one person can enter.

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

Hockey, basketball and football all settle a tie before the night is out. European soccer does not, and a level score is a normal result rather than a curiosity. Two-way picks that treat a draw as a loss reward backing favourites and make half the schedule uninteresting. Three-way picks, home, draw or away, make 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 pick like one.

Thirty-six clubs, eight matches each, eight different opponents, one table. No two clubs share a schedule, 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. Pick it as eight individual match rounds against one combined standings table, not as 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 playoff for the other eight places. From there it is a knockout tree to the final. Decide before the league phase ends whether your pool carries into the knockouts or whether February opens as a bracket, because switching format in the middle of a season is how organizers 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 schedule stops being a round robin at that point. The feed handles it, but your players should be told it is coming rather than discovering it in March.

Formats that suit a multi-league season.

Season-long pick'em, per league

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

Champions League bracket

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

Confidence

Rank each matchday's matches from most to least certain. Across seven leagues it rewards the player who knows where the upsets live.

Single-league pools

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

Why run your European soccer pool on Fanzava.

This product does not exist anywhere else.

Pick'em platforms are built around one country's league. Nobody offers a white-label pool 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, kickoff times, locks and results arrive automatically for all seven leagues and the Champions League, including the Austrian split and the Champions League playoff 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 leaderboard sits across all of them. Groups by office, branch, city or supporters' club run alongside, so a Serie A fan in Montréal and a Bundesliga fan in Kitchener are still in the same pool.

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 weekend recap from eight competitions arrives from your brand and nobody sees a Fanzava logo at any point.
