Can ChatGPT predict football matches?
Updated 16 October 2026
Yes, roughly as well as other leading AI models. In our record GPT picked the right result in 47.1% of 1,372 graded football matches, against 33.3% for a random pick. The best model, Claude Sonnet 5, reached 51.6%, and when all ten models agreed they were right 62.4% of the time.
How we tested it
GPT is one of 10 models that predict every match on TuringStats before kickoff, with the same data and the same prompt. Picks are locked and graded against the official result. See the full leaderboard.
How to get a better answer than one chatbot
- Ask several models, not one: agreement is the strongest signal we have found.
- Look at confidence: picks made at 70%+ confidence were right 76.2% of the time.
- Check the record: an AI that is never graded cannot be trusted or distrusted.
You can put your own question to all 10 models at once with Ask multiple AI.
