The Great British Baking Show Fantasy League

Each week, you’ll draft a lineup of Bakers you think will impress Paul and Prue in the Tent, avoiding elimination on their way to the Finale. You can play across multiple game types during the season for more ways to climb league Leaderboards.

To allow our UK users to play too, picks for all Great British Baking Show fantasy games lock each week when the new episode begins airing on Channel 4. Note: this is a couple days before the episode drops on Netflix. Once picks are locked, your roster is set for the week, so make sure you’ve got the right Bakers ready to rise to the occasion.

You can switch up your roster for the Confidence Pool and Week to Week game types before picks lock each week. Lineups reset for every episode, so you can adapt as Bakers nail their Showstoppers, stumble in Technicals, or face soggy bottoms. First Impression bracket locking time is different, with picks locking at a designated time and staying locked for the remainder of the season. Make sure you have push notifications turned on so you never miss your shot to update your lineups.

Definitely. You can create a public or private league, customize it with your own name and icon, choose your game type(s), and invite friends to join. Everyone in your league will use the same scoring system, and you’ll have your own league Leaderboard to see who’s the true Star Baker of your group. There’s no cap on league sizes, so the more the merrier. Leagues are also automatically reactivated each season, so you don’t need to re-invite your league members each year.

Yes! You can jump in anytime by downloading the Bracketology app, creating an account, and adding The Great British Baking Show to your shows. You’ll be added to the sitewide Bracketology Official League automatically, and you can also join or create leagues at any point during the season.

Once a Baker is eliminated or leaves the competition, they can’t earn points anymore. If you already made picks for upcoming weeks and there’s still time before the next lineup locks, swap them out by using the pencil icon to edit your lineup and keep your roster competitive.

Yes! Season-long Great British Baking Show fantasy leagues are completely free to join and play.

Scores are updated within 24 hours after each new episode airs. Check your team’s performance in the Picks tab, view your league Leaderboard, or open the full Scoring Recap in the mobile or web app.

If you don’t make Great British Baking Show fantasy picks in time, you might not be completely out of luck. Each league Commissioner has a tool to unlock picks for episodes/eliminations to allow for late or unsaved picks. The Commissioner should click the dropdown arrow on their lineup within the league, and click “Open Picks.” This will allow for all picks for that specific episode/elimination to be edited. Reach out to your Commissioner if you were unable to make picks, but beware that not all Commissioners will allow for lineups to be changed after picks lock each week. Once picks are opened and closed by a Commissioner, new scores will be updated at the next score publishing, generally after the following episode.

Coins are a fun, non-redeemable social currency you can use to climb the Bracketology Superfan Leaderboard. Coins can be earned by setting fantasy lineups, inviting friends to join a league, referring new users to Bracketology, claiming your Daily Login Reward.
