Three quizzes. One football brain. The question is whether yours is sharp enough to beat all of them before breakfast.

BBC Sport publishes a fresh set of football puzzles every day, and Saturday's edition has been put together by Flora Snelson, Joe Rindl and a BBC Sport user named Antony from Leicester — proof, if it were needed, that the format actively involves the audience in setting questions.

What are the three quizzes?

  • Who Am I? — You are given a series of clues about a mystery footballer, one at a time. The fewer clues you need before guessing correctly, the higher your score. It rewards broad football knowledge rather than luck.
  • Five in Five — Five questions, five minutes on the clock. The format suits fans who can recall facts quickly under mild pressure. Running down the timer is part of the fun.
  • Brainteaser — A single, deliberately tricky question with five lives to spare before the answer is revealed. It is the format most likely to produce a groan when the solution appears.

Why do these quizzes matter to football fans?

At first glance, daily quizzes sound like a minor feature. In practice they serve a genuine purpose: they keep fans engaged with the game on days when there is no fixture to watch and no transfer news breaking. The format also tends to surface names and facts that sit just outside most supporters' immediate recall — a midfielder from the early 2000s, an obscure international cap record, a Cup final scoreline — and that retrieval exercise is exactly what keeps football knowledge from going stale.

The scoring mechanic on Who Am I? is worth highlighting specifically. By rewarding fewer clues rather than simply a correct answer, the quiz effectively measures depth of knowledge rather than persistence. A fan who identifies a player from their nationality and career era alone will outscore someone who needed their shirt number and former clubs to get there. It is a small design decision that changes how seriously people approach the format.

Where to find them

All three quizzes are available on BBC Sport's dedicated Football Quizzes page. BBC Sport also offers a notification sign-up so the daily set arrives directly on your device — useful if you want to play before the scores from any early kick-offs start appearing in your feed and cloud your thinking.

For fans who want more volume, BBC Sport maintains archive pages for every previous Who Am I? and Five in Five edition, so there is no shortage of material if three puzzles a day is not enough.

Saturday's questions are live now. The clock is running on Five in Five. Best get started.
