Major sports events in January 2026

The Super 6 quest continues with six Premier League matches on Saturday. Please read our predictions for round 27, as these games will surely bring plenty of excitement and drama, whichever club you support.
Deadline: Saturday 17th January, 5:00 pm (UK time)
Arne Slot appears to have steadied the ship after a shaky run, with Liverpool climbing back up to fourth in the standings. Their home form at Anfield remains a major strength. Burnley, meanwhile, are stuck in the relegation zone with just 13 points to their name this season. The hosts are the side to pick in this matchup.
The Blues were defeated 3-2 at home by Arsenal in the first EFL Cup semi-final match on Wednesday, but the team looked decent in the second cup match under new coach Liam Rosenior. Curiously, Brentford are three places and two points above Chelsea in the Premier League standings. This is an ideal opportunity for the capital club to overtake them.
Both sides are stuck in the middle of the table and clearly struggle for momentum. Sunderland have at least picked up an FA Cup win over Everton on penalties, while Crystal Palace have been without a victory since November. The club's problems were summed up by a shocking FA Cup loss to sixth-tier Macclesfield. With both sides lacking goals, a low-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome.
The Tricky Trees are seven points above the relegation zone, so they are somewhat safe. However, it's far from perfect at the moment for Sean Dyche's side. They were knocked out of the FA Cup by Wrexham, who play in the Championship, and collected only three points in the previous five Premier League matches by beating low-level West Ham. There's no way Arsenal, who look unstoppable for the major part of the season, will lose points in this one.
Wolverhampton remain at the bottom of the table with just seven points. They won against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup, but their league form has been poor. They have only one win in recent months. Newcastle, sixth in the standings, have won three of their last five league games and look a level above. Wolves may score, but Newcastle should get the victory.
Aston Villa dropped points in a scoreless draw against Crystal Palace last time out, but responded well by defeating Tottenham 2-1 in the FA Cup. They remain hard to beat on home soil. Everton, meanwhile, could only manage a 1-1 draw with bottom-placed Wolves and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Sunderland on penalties. This looks like a great opportunity for Villa to take all three points at home.

Super 6 is a completely free game where you try to predict the scores of six selected football matches. Usually, these are six Premier League games played over the weekend, but there will be various exceptions. For example, six UEFA Champions League matches could be chosen for your predictions. This game is open only to individuals aged 18 or over who are residents of the UK, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, or the Republic of Ireland.
Predict all six scores correctly to win the Jackpot. The Jackpot prize for each round of the competition is £250,000, unless stated otherwise. If more than one player wins the Jackpot in a round, the prize will be awarded to the entrant whose golden goal prediction is closest to the actual minute of the first goal scored. If two or more winners have golden goal predictions that are equally close, the Jackpot prize will be shared equally between those players.
The Top Scorer prize is awarded in any round where no player correctly predicts all six Super 6 match scores and, as a result, no Jackpot prize is paid out. This prize is given to the participant who achieves the highest total points in that round. When the Jackpot competition prize is £250,000 or higher, the Top Scorer prize will be £5,000, unless stated otherwise.
By submitting a valid entry for any round, you automatically enter the Head to Head challenge against the Super 6 ambassador. Jamie Carragher, or another appointed ambassador, will submit their predictions for the scores in each round. Players who score more points than the selected ambassador will be entered into a prize draw. The Head to Head prize is £1,000 for rounds held on a Saturday or Sunday, or £500 for rounds played from Monday to Friday, unless stated otherwise. One Head to Head prize will be awarded per round, unless specified otherwise.
The player who finishes at the top of the Season Leaderboard will win a prize of £10,000. If two or more players are tied on points, the winner will be determined by who has predicted the highest number of correct scores, as displayed on the leaderboard. If players remain tied on both points and correct score predictions, the season prize will be shared equally between those players.
Players can enter this competition by participating in any round. To win, a player must correctly predict the score of a match in a round where 100 or fewer participants have expected the same score. The amount of the cash prize depends on how many people correctly predict the scoreline. If you are the only player to get the score right, you will win £10,000. The full breakdown of available cash prizes is shown in the table below.
| Number of correct predictions | Cash prize |
| 1 | £10,000 |
| 2-10 | £1,000 |
| 11-20 | £500 |
| 21-30 | £200 |
| 31-40 | £1,000 prize draw |
| 41-50 | £1,000 prize draw |
| 51-60 | £1,000 prize draw |
| 61-70 | £1,000 prize draw |
| 71-80 | £1,000 prize draw |
| 81-90 | £1,000 prize draw |
| 91-100 | £1,000 prize draw |
Players can choose to join a league for any Premier League or English Football League club. The top player in each Official Club League will receive that club's shirt from the current season as a prize. Participants can join up to 20 Official Club Leagues, but an individual can only win once. Additionally, if you win your league and your chosen team reaches the play-off final in the Championship, League One, or League Two, you will also receive tickets to attend the match!
The Super 6 game lasts throughout the Premier League season. While it's all about predicting the correct scores of six weekend games in most cases, sometimes six midweek matches are selected. Moreover, UEFA Champions League games will be in the centre of everyone's attention at some point. We always publish our Super 6 tips at least a day before the deadline, so make sure to come by and check them.
The number of rounds may vary from season to season. In 2025/26, the Super 6 game started on August 15, 2025, and will end on May 24, 2026. However, not each PL round was included in the Super 6 game during the current campaign.
After submitting your predictions, you can make unlimited changes up until the kickoff of the first match in that round.
After submitting your Super 6 predictions, Sky Bet gives you the chance to place a bet on your predicted results. They display the potential returns from a £10 stake, allowing you to back the outcomes you've chosen.
