If you fancy yourself as something of a football encyclopedia, BBC Sport's trio of daily quizzes is ready to find out whether you can actually back that up. Who Am I?, Five in Five and Brainteaser are all live and waiting for you, and the difficulty levels range from decent to properly fiendish.
What Are the Three Quizzes?
The format is straightforward enough. Who Am I? asks you to identify a mystery footballer using as few clues as possible — the fewer prompts you need, the higher your score. It rewards genuine depth of knowledge over lucky guessing.
Five in Five is exactly what it sounds like: five correct answers inside five minutes. The clock keeps moving, so there's no time to overthink it. Either you know it or you don't.
Then comes Brainteaser, which BBC Sport itself describes as fiendishly difficult. You get five lives before the answer is revealed, so even seasoned fans are going to have their patience tested here.
A Good Habit for Football Fans
Daily quizzes like these have become a genuine fixture in the routine of plenty of supporters — not unlike checking the morning's transfer gossip or running through last night's scores. There's something satisfying about testing yourself against a fresh set of questions every day, particularly during international breaks when live football is thinner on the ground.
The questions are set by the BBC Sport team, so the standard is consistent and the subjects span the full breadth of the game — club football, international football, historical trivia, and current-season stats all tend to make appearances across the week.
Where to Find Past Quizzes
If you miss a day or want more of a challenge, BBC Sport keeps dedicated archive pages for all three formats. Every previous Who Am I?, Five in Five and Brainteaser is collected in one place, meaning you can work through a backlog if a single daily instalment isn't scratching the itch.
There's also a broader football quiz section on the BBC Sport website, including longer-form challenges such as naming every club in the Premier League and EFL, and a quiz focused on the most-capped Lionesses — handy revision if you follow the women's game closely.
Why Bother?
Beyond the obvious entertainment value, regularly putting your football knowledge under pressure is a decent way of realising just how much — or how little — you actually retain from years of watching the game. The market for football trivia content has grown considerably, and BBC Sport's daily offering holds up well precisely because the questions are varied and the formats are snappy enough to fit into a commute or a lunch break.
