bet365 6 Scores Challenge — International Break Edition: Win £250,000 Free This Week

The 6 Scores Challenge is a completely free-to-play correct-score prediction game from bet365. There is no stake, no entry fee and no deposit required — all you need is a registered and verified bet365 account. You predict the exact scoreline in six nominated football fixtures, and prizes are awarded based on how many you get right.

This week’s edition uses six Nations League international fixtures across Thursday 24th and Friday 25th September 2026. The top prize is a share of £250,000 for all six correct — if you are the sole correct predictor, the entire pot is yours.

Thursday 24 September (all 19:45 UK):
Portugal v Wales · Netherlands v Germany · Serbia v Greece · Norway v Denmark

Friday 25 September (both 19:45 UK):
Italy v Belgium · Türkiye v France

All six predictions must be submitted before the first Thursday kick-off. However, Friday predictions can be updated any time before 19:45 on Friday — the amend feature is fixture-specific, not session-specific.

2 correct — £2 Bet Credits
3 correct — £5 Bet Credits
4 correct — a share of £10,000 (sole winner takes the full pot)
5 correct — a share of £20,000 (sole winner takes the full pot)
6 correct — a share of up to £250,000 (sole winner takes the full jackpot)

Cash prizes are shared among all players who achieve the same number of correct scores at each tier. Bet Credit prizes are fixed amounts credited to qualifying accounts.

Yes — you can amend any prediction before that individual fixture kicks off. Thursday predictions lock once Portugal v Wales begins at 19:45 on Thursday, but Friday predictions can be updated any time before Italy v Belgium starts at 19:45 on Friday. This makes the amend feature particularly valuable for the two Friday games — you’ll have the results of Thursday’s matches to inform any adjustments.

Head back to your 6 Scores Challenge selections page, find the relevant fixture and update your score before kick-off. This feature is one of the most underused aspects of the challenge and can genuinely make the difference between the consolation tiers and the jackpot.

Correct-score prediction for international football carries a few specific challenges that don’t apply in the same way to club football. First, squad rotation is heavier — managers often rest key players for Nations League fixtures, meaning the XI you expect based on the star names is not necessarily the one that plays. Second, motivation can vary: a Nations League group game in September carries less emotional weight than a major tournament knockout, which can lead to cautious performances and lower-scoring matches. Third, form data is thinner — international teams play fewer matches, making recent results a less reliable guide.

On the positive side, fewer correct predictions from the overall entry pool means individual correct picks are more likely to move you into a tier where fewer people share the prize. The risk and the reward are both higher than in a standard Premier League edition.

Serbia v Greece and Italy v Belgium are both fixtures where the home side carries a structural advantage over a visiting team that is primarily built to defend rather than dominate. In international football, disciplined away sides — particularly Greece and Belgium in transition — often limit the number of goals they concede at the cost of rarely scoring more than one themselves.

The 1-0 scoreline is also a strategic choice in the context of the Challenge: it is less popular than 2-0 or 2-1 among entrants who assume home dominance automatically means multiple goals. If a 1-0 lands, you are more likely to find yourself at a prize tier where fewer people have the same score — which improves your individual share of the cash amounts at four or five correct.

France’s quality at this level is such that they tend to win even when they are not at their absolute best. Away from home against sides outside the very top tier of European international football, their squad depth — even with rotation — gives them a clear structural advantage. Türkiye at home will create chances through direct play and intensity, which is why we have them scoring, but France’s superior composure and clinical finishing historically tells in fixtures of this type.

The 1-2 scoreline also accounts for the reality that Istanbul can be an uncomfortable venue, generating early Türkiye momentum that France absorb before taking control. It is not a comfortable away win — it is a working one.

The UEFA Nations League is a competitive international football tournament that runs during international breaks throughout the year. It replaced most friendly fixtures and is structured in leagues (A, B, C, D) with promotion and relegation between tiers. League A features the top European nations; League B contains the next tier; and so on.

For prediction purposes, the Nations League context matters because it is more competitive than a friendly — teams are playing for something — but carries less prestige pressure than a World Cup or European Championship qualifier. This typically means stronger-than-expected tactical caution from visiting sides combined with more aggressive home performances, which tends to favour home wins by narrow margins rather than open goal-fests.

This is one of European football’s great international rivalries and historically one of the most unpredictable fixtures to call. The two nations carry roughly equivalent talent pools, contrasting styles — Dutch positional control versus German pressing directness — and an emotional intensity that makes every match feel higher-stakes than the competition demands.

The draw is our selection precisely because neither side has a clearly dominant recent form record over the other in competitive fixtures, and both defensive units are strong enough to prevent the opponent from winning comfortably. A 1-1 captures the likely narrative: early goal, equaliser, tight second half, neither side finding the decisive breakthrough before the final whistle.

Prizes for two and three correct scores are awarded as Bet Credits, not withdrawable cash. Bet Credits work as follows: when you place a bet using Bet Credits, the stake is not returned with any winnings. Only the profit portion is added to your withdrawable balance.

Example: a £5 Bet Credits stake at odds of 2/1 (3.00) returns £10 net — the £10 winnings credited, the £5 Bet Credits stake not returned. Bet Credits expire 7 days after they are credited and cannot be used on Tote, Colossus, Lotto, Fantasy Sports, Teasers, Super Boosts or Winnings Boosts. Bets placed with Bet Credits do not qualify for Acca Boost.

Yes — if you are the only player to achieve a given prize tier, you receive the entire cash amount for that tier. So if you get four correct and nobody else achieves four or more correct scores in that tier, the full £10,000 is yours. The same applies to five correct (£20,000) and six correct (£250,000).

This is what makes the 6 Scores Challenge particularly interesting on international break weeks: fewer entries typically means fewer players at each prize tier, which increases the probability that a winner at four or five correct scores is the sole holder of that prize — and therefore receives the full amount rather than sharing it.

Generally yes — the 6 Scores Challenge typically attracts fewer total entries during international windows than during Premier League weekends. Club football has a broader casual following, more media coverage and higher name recognition for individual matches. International break editions featuring less prominent fixture combinations tend to draw a smaller entrant pool.

This matters for prize distribution: with fewer entrants, the probability of being the sole winner at four, five or six correct scores is statistically higher. The potential upside — winning a full cash tier rather than sharing it — is therefore better in international editions than in high-profile domestic weekend editions.
