Footy tipping is already an Australian institution — nearly every office, pub and family runs one. The 2026 season is well underway and the run to the finals is heating up. Stop running your comp on a spreadsheet that dies by Round 3. The Tipoff handles everything automatically, so your group keeps going all the way through to the Grand Final in September.

A whiteboard in the tea room gets forgotten. The family group chat goes quiet after Round 5. Whoever is running the spreadsheet gets sick of chasing scores manually. The Tipoff was built for a full AFL season — around 24 rounds across 18 clubs, plus the finals series, from Round 1 to the last kick of the Grand Final. The engagement keeps going because the platform keeps running itself.
When the footy kicks off and the fixtures start, the Match Wall activates for every match your group tipped. You see your group reacting to the same goals in real time — celebrations, arguments, the leaderboard shifting with every siren. Not a generic feed. Your group, your picks, your moments.
The AFL season is around 24 rounds across 18 clubs, plus finals. Every feature in The Tipoff is designed to keep your group engaged from Round 1 all the way to the Grand Final.
Every group runs on a private leaderboard — but every tipper also earns a rank on the global leaderboard alongside footy fans from around the country and the world. Your family group's champion might be one of the best AFL tippers on the planet. Now you'll know.
“You beat everyone in your family group chat. Now find out if you're one of the best AFL tippers in the world.”

“Our office has run a footy tipping comp on a shared spreadsheet for years — someone always forgets to update it and half the office loses interest by the bye rounds. Switched to The Tipoff this season and it just works — results update automatically, the ladder runs itself, and people are actually checking it every week.”
“We've done footy tipping in the family group chat forever — Mum, my brothers, a couple of cousins — and it always fell apart around Round 8 because nobody wanted to keep the tally. Now it's automatic and Nan is somehow top of the ladder again.”
The Tipoff has no connection to any gambling operator, sportsbook, or bookmaker. No gambling account needed. No ID check. Just sign up with Google.
Every “free” prediction game you've seen has a bookmaker behind it. This one doesn't.
18 clubs. Around 24 rounds plus finals. One ladder that runs itself all season.
