Gameweek 1 preview for 2025/26: what to watch before you lock your scores on Perfect Score.
Published 7 August 2026 · All guides
2025/26 opens with a six-fixture gameweek on Perfect Score. The hub shows which matches are in the round, the first-kick-off deadline, and the live countdown.
Opening weekend is always messy. New signings, new systems, fitness still sorting itself out. Boring scorelines (1-1, 1-0, 2-1) historically beat wild guesses in week one.
Line-ups and injuries close to the deadline matter. A missing centre-back often means fewer goals than you first thought. Home advantage in August is still real before winter slows pitches down.
Pre-season friendlies hint at scoring trends; take them lightly. Competitive intensity jumps on the first league weekend. Recent history at that ground can matter more than last season's final table.
Open the Premier League predictor, set home and away goals for all six fixtures, submit before the timer stops. Six exact scores in an eligible round wins the £5,000 jackpot; four or five can unlock credit tiers.
