Premier League
Sweepstake
With Friends
To run a Premier League sweepstake with friends, create a squad in SquadGames, pick a match and invite everyone by link. At kick-off the app randomly draws each person a player from the starting lineup, and whoever's player scores wins. It is free, with no entry fees, and works for groups of 2 to 21 people.
Two Kinds of Premier League Sweepstake
People usually mean one of two things when they search for a Premier League sweepstake:
- A matchday sweepstake — everyone gets a player for one game and the winner is decided by goals. This is what SquadGames is built for, and you can run one on any fixture, every weekend.
- A season-long club draw — each person is randomly given one or more of the 20 clubs and you follow the table all season. SquadGames does not do this; a simple random draw tool or spreadsheet works for that format.

Which Matches Can I Run a Sweepstake On?
Any Premier League fixture. Derby days, Monday night games, the early kick-off with nothing riding on it: the app lists every upcoming and live match, so you can run a different sweepstake each time your group watches together.
Premier League Sweepstake Formats
- First Goal Scorer (FGS) — one draw at kick-off. Whoever's player scores first wins.
- Next Goal Scorer (NGS) — a winner is declared for every goal, so you can win more than once.
- Last Goal Scorer (LGS) — only the final goal counts, so the lead can change until the final whistle.
