⚽ Football Points-Needed Calculator

The run-in made simple. Put in where your team stands, how many games are left, and the points you are aiming for — a title, promotion, safety mark or a rival — and see exactly what the remaining fixtures have to deliver: minimum wins, every workable win-and-draw combination, and whether it is even in your own hands.

Optional — work it out against a rival instead
Notes & assumptions

Points assume the standard three for a win, one for a draw. Combinations are listed in order of fewest games used. The “magic number” against a rival is the points you still need to gain or your rival still needs to drop for the target to be out of their reach — it falls by three each time they drop points.
