Is There an 82-0 for Other Sports?
82-0 is basketball's perfect season β 82 wins, zero losses. Fans of other sports keep asking for their own version, so here is what '82-0' becomes for soccer, American football and the World Cup β each one playable right here.
Can soccer or football actually go 82-0?
Not as a scoreline β goals are too hard to come by. The most lopsided official pro result ever was a freak 149-0 (a 2002 Madagascar protest match); a normal blowout rarely reaches double digits, and the Premier League's biggest margin is 9-0. But 82-0 was never really a scoreline. It is a perfect season: 82 games, 82 wins, zero losses β a basketball number, because an NBA regular season is 82 games long. Other sports have shorter seasons, so their 'perfect season' has a different number.
82-0 for soccer = 38-0 (Premier League)
A Premier League season is 38 games, so soccer's version of the perfect undefeated season is 38-0. It is arguably harder than 82-0, because soccer draws so easily: Arsenal's legendary 2003-04 Invincibles went the whole season unbeaten and still only managed 26-12-0 β twelve draws short of a perfect 38-0. The 38-0 Challenge is the soccer edition of this exact game: spin Premier League clubs and eras, draft an XI of real legends, and chase the perfect season.
82-0 for the World Cup = 7-0
Want the international version? A World Cup run from the group stage to the final is seven matches, so a flawless tournament is 7-0. The 7-0 Challenge lets you build the greatest World Cup XI ever β mix legends from 1970 to 2026, link countrymen for chemistry, and chase a perfect 7-0 or survive a knockout gauntlet to lift the trophy.
82-0 for (American) football = 20-0 (NFL)
If you searched 'football 82-0' meaning the NFL, the answer is 20-0. A modern Super Bowl run is 17 regular-season games plus three playoff rounds β win them all and you finish 20-0, something no team has done in the modern format (the 1972 Dolphins went 17-0 under the old schedule). The 20-0 Challenge drafts an NFL roster and simulates the whole run.
Same format, every sport
All four challenges share one idea: random team rolls, a draft built on real players, and a season simulation that decides whether your lineup survives undefeated. Pick your sport and chase the number β 82-0, 38-0, 20-0 or 7-0.
