Built by a commish, for the groups that actually play together.
Offseason is a pick'em app for the tournaments your group actually cares about. We're kicking off with World Cup 2026. Predict every group-stage match, fill out your knockout bracket, and compete in a private league with the people you already watch with.
It's the app we wish existed every time we tried to run a pick'em pool with friends. The other options felt like they were built for a broadcast audience, not for the group that actually plays together. This one's built for the league, start to finish.
We run fantasy football leagues every year. When the World Cup rolls around, we want to do the same thing: predict matches, talk trash, compete for bragging rights. The existing tools never quite fit. They were built for the broadcast experience, not for a group playing against each other.
So we built the version we wanted. Make an account in 15 seconds, make your picks, compete with your league. Clean, focused, made for the people already in your group chat.
Sports apps should respect the people using them. We hold ourselves to a few ideas:
The name comes from a simple idea. Some of the best sports moments (World Cups, major tournaments, big international events) happen when your regular fantasy leagues are dormant. The offseason. Those are the moments your league shows up in the group chat asking "can we do a pick'em for this?" and nobody has a good answer.
World Cup 2026 is where we're starting. It's a tournament that deserves a clean pick'em app more than any other event on the calendar. If that goes well, we'd love to keep building. For now though, our whole focus is nailing this one. One tournament, done right.
Football is the world's game, so Offseason ships in the languages your group actually speaks. The app and this website are localized to English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, and Arabic. It auto-detects from your device and is switchable anytime in the footer or in the app's profile screen. Right-to-left languages flip the layout cleanly. We'll add more languages as the community grows.
You'll need an email and password. That's how your picks stay yours across devices, and how your league commish can find you. Beyond that, the rule is simple: your data is yours. We run the platform. We don't sell your data, and we don't share it outside of your own league. Delete your account and it's gone.
The full breakdown of what we collect, how it's used, and how to delete it all is in our Privacy Policy.
