Our 2026 MLB pick contest is now live, and we have prizes on offer for the fans with the most wins each month, and at the end of the season.

How can I win?

For this season's contest all of our prizes are based on total wins. Just make your picks as normal on our main page, on the Pickwatch app or by clicking the 'Make Picks' button at the top of the website, and you will be in with a chance to win real cash prizes.

At the end of each month and at the end of the season, we'll have a prize on offer for the fan with the most wins in each category. As a tie-breaker, the fan with the most profit from their moneyline, spread, and points total picks will triumph.

Prize Breakdown

How to enter

To take part in our contests, you have to simply make picks. This can be done either using the Pickwatch app or the Pickwatch website.

When you make your picks, as long as there are odds available for the game, a $50 stake is added to the pick. You can decrease this to as little as $0, if you are not entirely confident with the pick, or increase it to $100, if you think it's definitely the right call.

Your picks are locked in as soon as the game starts, and no further changes can be made. When the game ends, you'll receive a profit amount based on your stake and the odds when you made your pick.

That's it! That's how to take part in our 2026 MLB contest. Good luck!
