Whether you fancy yourself as a football encyclopaedia or just enjoy a lunchtime brain workout, BBC Sport's daily quiz lineup is one of the better habits you can pick up during the season. Three formats, three chances to prove you know your football — and if you stumble on any of them, the shame is entirely your own.

What's on offer?

The suite runs across three distinct formats, each designed to prod a slightly different part of your footballing brain.

  • Who Am I? — A guess-the-footballer challenge where clues are drip-fed after each wrong answer. The fewer prompts you need, the higher your score. It rewards the obsessives who have memorised career paths and loan spells going back decades.
  • Five in Five — Five questions, five minutes on the clock. Straightforward on the surface, but the clock has a way of making even the most confident fan second-guess themselves.
  • Brainteaser — The fiendish one. You get five lives before the answer is revealed, and the questions are set to catch out anyone who thinks a passing familiarity with the Premier League era is enough.

Who sets the questions?

Today's puzzles come courtesy of BBC Sport's Joe Rindl and a reader submission from Zac in London — a reminder that the quiz team actively welcomes ideas from the audience. If you reckon you've got a question that'll leave fans stumped, there's a contact form on the BBC Sport site to pitch it.

Why bother competing daily?

Part of the appeal is the scoring system baked into Who Am I? — it creates a natural leaderboard mentality, even if you're only competing against yourself. The more regularly you play, the sharper your recall tends to get. It's the kind of low-stakes competition that fills a commute or a quiet half-hour before the midweek fixtures kick off.

BBC Sport also runs dedicated Football Quizzes and Sports Quizzes pages where you can work through the full archive — handy if you've missed a few days or want to properly stress-test your knowledge ahead of the new season. You can sign up for notifications so the latest quizzes land directly on your device rather than relying on you to remember to seek them out.

More quiz content to dig into

Beyond the daily trio, BBC Sport has a growing back catalogue worth raiding. Recent highlights include a challenge to name every club currently in the Premier League and EFL, and a quiz testing how well fans know the Lionesses' most-capped players — the kind of question that tends to separate the casual supporter from the dedicated follower of women's football.

It all adds up to a decent daily ritual for any football fan. The questions shift every 24 hours, so there's always fresh material — and always a new opportunity to discover exactly how much you've forgotten about a midfielder who spent six months at a Championship club in 2009.
