Most tipping groups die by Round 3.

Spreadsheets get forgotten. WhatsApp threads go quiet. The person running it gets tired of updating scores manually. The Tipoff was built for a full football season — 34 matchdays, 306 fixtures, PSG vs Marseille to Lille vs Lyon. The engagement keeps going because the platform keeps running itself.

Set Up Once. Run All Season.
Create your group before Matchday 1, set your prize, share the link. From there, the platform handles results, leaderboards, and stats automatically for all 34 matchdays.
A Journée Every Week, No Exceptions
Ligue 1 fixtures run Friday night to Monday night, every journée, all season. Tips open when fixtures are announced and lock at each kickoff — no admin, no chasing.
Something Worth Playing For
Set your own prize at the start — bragging rights, lunch, a trophy. Your group sees it every week. It turns nine months into one long competition.
Invite-Only Private Groups
Unique group code, QR link, or shareable URL — your group only. No strangers. Members can join mid-season and start from wherever the competition is.

From sign-up to first pick in under two minutes.

Tip All Season

🏟️

Every platform gives you a leaderboard. Only The Tipoff gives you the Match Wall.

When matchday arrives and the fixtures kick off, 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 whistle. Not a generic feed. Your group, your picks, your moments.

⚡
Live during every match
Activates at kickoff, closes at full time. Real-time reactions as goals go in.
👥
Open to all tippers
Every fan on The Tipoff who tipped that match joins the same wall — not just your group. More reactions, more banter, more moments.
🔒
No competitor has this
A live, match-by-match social feed built directly into your tipping competition.

Built to last the whole season.

Ligue 1 is 34 rounds. Every feature in The Tipoff is designed to keep your group engaged from matchday 1 in August to the final whistle in May.

👆
Swipe to Tip — 10 Seconds Per Journée
Right for home, left for away. Open the app, make your call, done. Tips lock at kickoff — no changing your mind after Dembélé or Mbappé-successor of the week scores. Every call stands, every journée.
📅
A Leaderboard Built for 34 Journées
34 journées means 34 chances to move up — one of the shortest top-five European seasons, since Ligue 1 dropped to 18 clubs in 2023/24. The leaderboard updates automatically after every settled result. No manual tracking, no admin.
🏟️
The Match Wall — Live for Every Kickoff
Ligue 1 spreads its journée across Friday night to Monday night. Whenever your matches kick off, the Match Wall opens — follow results live with everyone else who had a pick, and see the round unfold fixture by fixture.
🎯
Two Ways to Rank — Grinder or Sharp
Everyone knows who the favourite is at the top of Ligue 1 — Sharp mode is about finding the upsets against them, and calling the real fight underneath for Europe and survival. Grinders rack up volume points on the predictable results. Both modes run simultaneously.
🧠
Your Tipping DNA
Do you always back the runaway favourite, or do you specialise in calling upsets from Marseille, Monaco, and Lyon? The Tipoff turns every pick into a full analytics profile — accuracy by club, by journée, by form state.
🤝
My Circle — Informal Rivalry Without the Admin
Not everyone wants to run a formal group. My Circle lets you follow the people you know and see exactly where you stand against them on the global leaderboard — no group creation, no admin, no invite codes.
🔥
Streak Tracker
Your run of correct picks, tracked and displayed on your profile. Ligue 1 runs nine months — a streak that starts in August can become something to protect all the way through Le Classique and into May. Your stats tab shows the full breakdown.
🎁
Custom Prizes for Your Group
Set whatever prize you want at the start of the season — bragging rights, dinner, a trophy, anything. It stays pinned to your group all season so every member knows what they're playing for.
⚙️
Zero Admin All Season
Results settle automatically. The leaderboard runs itself. You set up your group once at the start of the season and spend the next nine months watching football, not managing spreadsheets.
🗳️
Community Polls Between Journées
The debates don't stop when the final whistle blows. Weekly opinion polls on Ligue 1 storylines — Le Classique week, the European race, the relegation fight among the league's 18 clubs — keep your group talking between journées.

Your office competes privately. Your best tippers compete globally.

Every group runs on a private leaderboard — but every tipper also earns a rank on the global leaderboard alongside Ligue 1 fans from around the world. Your office champion might be one of the best Ligue 1 tippers on the planet. Now you'll know.

🌍
Compete Worldwide
Every pick you make counts on the global leaderboard. Rank against Ligue 1 fans everywhere — not just the people in your group.
🎯
Grinder or Sharp — Globally
Both ranking modes run on the global table simultaneously. Dominate by volume or by accuracy — there is a world ranking for both.
👥
My Circle — Rivals Anywhere
Follow anyone on the platform and see where you stand against them globally. Build private rivalries with people completely outside your group.

“Our Ligue 1 group chat used to die out by October every year. The Tipoff keeps everyone tipping right through to May — the leaderboard runs itself and the Match Wall on Le Classique weekend is the best part of the whole thing.”
