How does it work?
You build a squad of real players, earn points from their real match performances, and compete against other managers in your league across the entire season. The manager with the best results at the end wins the league.
You can play either with friends in a private league or compete with the wider Kickbase community in a public league.
Private vs Public Leagues
Private League Invite only. Perfect for playing with friends, colleagues, or a closed group. Only managers with the invite link can join.
Public League Open to everyone. Any Kickbase manager can join and compete with the community.
How many leagues can I join?
You can join up to 6 leagues at the same time.
Each league can have up to 18 managers.
How do you win a Seasonal League?
The winner depends on the ranking mode chosen in the league settings.
Season Points All points earned throughout the season are added together. The manager with the most points at the end of the season wins the league.
Each gameweek you face one direct opponent. Win = 3 points Draw = 1 point Loss = 0 points
Standings are based on these Head to Head points, similar to a real league table.
