Week 18 football pools fixtures 2026 — full coupon

The table below lists every match in coupon order. Fixtures 1 to 43 are Saturday matches; fixtures 44 to 49 carry late kick-off status. Always confirm kick-off times and any late fixture changes with your promoter or coupon before staking.

How to read the Week 18 coupon

Every coupon uses status labels to tell stakers when a match is expected to be played, and those labels matter when you are arranging your lines. The three you will meet most often are:

• • Saturday — the standard Saturday afternoon fixture. These form the bulk of the Week 18 coupon.

• • LKO (late kick-off) — a match that starts later than the standard Saturday slot. Six Week 18 fixtures carry this status: Tottenham v Crystal Palace, Aston Villa v Fulham, Rayo Vallecano v Celta Vigo, Real Betis v Malaga, Barcelona v Deportivo Alaves, Udinese v Roma, AC Milan v Inter and Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund.

• • Void — used where a fixture is removed from settlement, most commonly for Friday matches on some coupon versions. No Week 18 fixture on this list is marked void.

Some coupon cycles also include Sunday or, rarely, Monday matches. None appear on the Week 18 schedule as listed here.

Pool results, panel decisions and classified scores

Once the Saturday whistles go, the work for stakers continues. Three streams of information decide how a coupon settles:

Pool results this week — the full-time scores for all 49 fixtures, published as matches are confirmed. These are the raw scores that feed into classified results.

Pools panel results — where a match is postponed or abandoned, the pools panel meets to issue a verdict: home win, away win or draw. Panel decisions can swing an entire coupon, so they are worth tracking closely alongside the actual scores.

Classified scores — results converted into the home, draw and away columns used to settle entries, which is how most stakers check their lines after the weekend.

Planning ahead with advance fixtures

The Week 18 coupon is an advance list, which means it is published before the matchday so stakers can study form, fixtures and kick-off times in good time. A few practical points help when working from an advance coupon:

• • Check for changes. Broadcast selections, cup commitments and postponements can move a fixture after the advance list is published. Confirm the final coupon before you stake.

• • Note the late kick-offs. Fixtures 44 to 49 are the last to settle. If you are following results live, those are the matches that will complete your coupon.

• • Track panel outcomes. A single postponed match can be settled by the panel rather than by play, so keep an eye on panel announcements after the weekend.
