The Best NFL Pool Apps in 2026
PikSheet, RunYourPool, OfficeFootballPool, Splash Sports, OfficePoolStop, Sunday Survivor, and ALA Survivor Series compared for running a private NFL pool this season.
Picking an app to run your NFL pool this season comes down to a handful of real questions: does it score and update standings automatically, does it send reminders before picks lock, does it run more than one format if your group wants that, and does it try to sell your group on real-money contests along the way. Here's how the main options stack up for 2026.
PikSheet
Built specifically for NFL pools — Pick'em, Confidence, Margin, Survivor, High 5, Best Bet, Touchdown Calls, and Box pools, all in one app with automatic scoring, live standings, and a real-time field-of-picks view. Live now on the App Store and Google Play, with push notifications for pick reminders, pool results, and pool activity. No gambling promotion built in — commissioners collect entry fees and pay out winners themselves, the way their league always has, and PikSheet never touches that money.
RunYourPool, OfficeFootballPool, and Splash Sports
Two of the longest-running names in pool hosting — OfficeFootballPool dates back to 1999 — now under one company, Splash Inc., alongside Splash Sports, Splash's own real-money contest product. A fit for free pool hosting, or for DFS-style real-money contests specifically through Splash Sports.
OfficePoolStop and SurvivorFootball
The same company under two URLs, hosting free, ad-supported pools since 2012. A fit if free, ad-supported hosting matters more than a native app or an ad-free experience.
Sunday Survivor
A dedicated NFL survivor pool platform — survivor, second-chance brackets, and against-the-spread variants, and nothing outside that format. A fit if survivor is the only pool your group runs.
ALA Survivor Series
A survivor-focused platform running weekly team survivor across NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL, plus tournament-bracket and player-based survivor variants. A fit if you specifically want survivor formats beyond a standard weekly pick.
