The Premier League is back, and so are The Football Pools!

After 100 match-free days, football’s finally coming back today with a new look – and so is the nation’s oldest and best-loved football betting game.

Fixtures will be behind closed doors, but fans will still be able to get involved and feel the thrill of every goal going in by playing along with The Football Pools.

Now, as well as £3 Million up for grabs this Saturday and cash prizes easier to win than the National Lottery, The Football Pools has a new look website, and a lucky dip option for those who prefer to leave their picks to luck, so there are even more ways to win.

Launching to celebrate football’s much-awaited return, a creative campaign will feature football freestyler and influencer John Farnworth showing off the skills that have made him a four-time Guinness World Record holder.

The Football Pools – still based in Liverpool where it began back in 1923 – is a great British tradition and it’s been a major part of matchday for generations. 

Players have been scoring big cash prizes for almost a century, marking crosses on coupons and waiting nervously for the final whistle to reveal their results.

It’s made millionaires and headlines – who could forget its most famous winner Viv Nicholson’s pledge to “Spend, Spend, Spend” back in 1961 when she scooped £152,319, the equivalent to more than £3.5 Million today?

There are lots of ways you can keep the Liverpool music playing whilst gigs are off.
