Bybit Football Season 2026 explained: Points, predictions and prizes
The 2026 tournament isn't just a football event — Bybit is turning it into a three-stage trading competition. From June 9 to July 19, you earn Points through your normal Bybit activity, stake those Points on match outcomes and compete for a share of an up to $800,000 prize pool. Each stage follows the tournament bracket and pays out independently. This guide explains how Points work, how predictions are placed and how prizes are distributed.
Key takeaways:
Trade on Bybit to earn Points, stake those Points on the tournament match predictions and share a prize pool of up to $800,000 paid in MNT (Mantle) tokens.
The campaign runs across three stages tied to the 2026 tournament bracket — your Points balance resets after each stage, so every round is a fresh start.
Predictions are optional. You can earn Points and qualify for prizes by trading alone, but wrong predictions will reduce your Points balance.
What is Bybit Football Season 2026?
Bybit Football Season 2026 is a 40-day trading campaign running from June 9 to July 19, 2026. It's built around the 2026 tournament and mirrors the same three-stage tournament structure: Group Stage, Knockout Rounds (R32 through Quarter-Finals) and Semi-Finals plus the Final.
The tagline is "Trade. Predict. Win." — which captures the campaign's core loop. You trade to earn Points, stake those Points on match outcomes if you choose and receive a share of the stage prize pool based on your Points balance at close. Prizes are paid in MNT (Mantle), a layer-2 blockchain token, at USD equivalent value.
Each stage has its own independent prize pool. Points reset after each stage's prize distribution, so performance in one round has no bearing on the next. Your trading tier progress and cumulative career Points counter carry over throughout the campaign.
How to earn Points
Points come from three main sources: trading tiers, daily tasks and one-time bonuses.
Stage Trading Tiers track your cumulative trading volume across all three stages. There are 18 tiers, starting at Starter (USD 1,000 volume, 1 pt) and scaling up to Tier 18 (USD 100 million volume, 230 pts). You can accumulate up to 1,384 Points from trading tiers alone. These Points carry over across all stages and don't reset.
Daily tasks refresh every 24 hours and include trading (spot and futures), spending (Bybit Card and Pay), and product usage (Advanced Earn, Flexible Savings, Options, TradFi and Alpha). Completing tasks earns between 1 and 3 Points each, up to 19 Points per day in total.
You also get a one-time Registration Bonus of five Points on your first visit to the campaign page. KYC Level 1 is required to participate in match predictions.
New users can play the Goalkeeper Mini Game — a casual browser game that awards up to 10 locked Points, which unlock after completing an eFTD (first deposit of USD 100 or more plus a trade of USD 10 or more).
How match predictions work
From June 9, you can predict the outcomes of upcoming football matches, with predictions opening up to 48 hours before each match's kickoff and locking at kickoff. In the Group Stage, predictions are Win, Draw or Lose. In Knockout rounds, you predict which team advances.
When you predict, you stake a number of Points on your chosen outcome. The multipliers aren't set by Bybit — they're determined by how the community bets, using a pari-mutuel model. In simple terms: the more Points staked on one outcome, the lower the multiplier for that outcome and the higher the multiplier for the alternatives.
Correct predictions multiply your staked Points by the final multiplier. Wrong predictions forfeit the staked Points entirely.
Predicting is optional. If you'd rather not risk your Points, you can skip predictions and still earn Points through trading and daily tasks. Your Points balance at stage close determines your prize share regardless of whether you predicted.
Prize pool and payouts
The prize pool scales with total net Points across the entire community — every participant's Points count toward pool size, regardless of whether they qualify for a payout. The total campaign reward pool is USD 1,000,000, including prize pools and airdrop rewards. Total prize pool payouts across all three stages reach up to USD 800,000, subject to a floor and cap per stage.
Your individual payout is calculated as:
Your share = your net Points ÷ total eligible community Points × stage prize pool
To qualify, you need a minimum of 30 net Points at the time the stage closes. Payouts are made in MNT at USD equivalent value, within 10 business days of the campaign ending.
Points reset after each stage's prize distribution. Your trading tier volume and career Points total carry over, but your spendable Points balance returns to zero.
Bonus rewards
Additional rewards include an eFTD airdrop for new users, referral bonuses, an affiliate program, and a limited-edition merchandise package for qualifying VIP upgraders.
The bottom line
Bybit Football Season 2026 runs June 9 to July 19, 2026, across three stages tied to the 2026 tournament bracket. You earn Points by trading and completing daily tasks, optionally stake those Points on match predictions and share a prize pool of up to USD 800,000 paid out in MNT. Because Points reset each stage, every round is a new opportunity to compete — even if you miss the Group Stage entirely. Make sure your account is KYC-verified and ready before June 9.
