If you reckon you know your football inside out — from obscure lower-league signings to Champions League final scorelines — BBC Sport's suite of daily football quizzes is the place to prove it. Three formats drop every day, each one calibrated to scratch a different part of the football brain.
What Are the Three Formats?
The flagship is Who Am I?, a guessing game built around a mystery footballer. You get a first attempt blind, and every wrong answer unlocks a fresh clue. The logic is simple: the fewer clues you need, the higher your score. It rewards the genuine obsessive — the fan who can place a player from a transfer fee and a debut year rather than needing a club badge waved in their face.
Then there is Five in Five, which does exactly what it says on the tin. Five questions, five minutes on the clock. It is the format that sorts the quick thinkers from those who go to pieces under pressure. Get your answers in early and the sense of satisfaction is real; leave it too late and the clock has a habit of making your mind go blank.
Finally, Brainteaser is the one for the truly confident. A single fiendishly difficult question with five lives standing between you and the answer being revealed. It tends to be the kind of question that sounds straightforward until you start second-guessing yourself — the sort of thing that sparks a proper debate in a pub or a WhatsApp group.
Who Sets the Questions?
Today's questions across all three formats have been set by Flora Snelson and Joe Rindl, the team behind BBC Sport's daily quiz output. The questions are refreshed every day, so there is always a reason to come back — and always a reason to feel slightly smug or slightly humbled depending on how the session goes.
Why Bother With a Daily Football Quiz?
For a lot of fans, the football quiz has become as much a part of the matchday routine as checking the injury news or scanning the latest gossip. There is a reason formats like this have taken off — they are quick, they are competitive, and they give you something concrete to measure your knowledge against rather than just arguing about opinions.
The market for this kind of daily engagement has grown sharply over the past few years, off the back of the word-game boom that Wordle sparked. Football has simply found its own version of that daily ritual, and BBC Sport's three-format approach means there is something for different types of fan — the patient puzzle solver, the speed merchant and the trivia specialist who has spent years filing away random facts for exactly this kind of moment.
Where Can You Play?
All three quizzes are live on the BBC Sport website and you can sign up for notifications to get them sent directly to your device each day. BBC Sport also maintains archive pages for every previous Who Am I? and Five in Five, so if you missed a day — or want to go back and settle a score — the back catalogue is there waiting.
Whether you are killing time before a midweek fixture or making the commute slightly more bearable, it is a decent way to keep the football brain ticking over between kick-offs.
