Whether you fancy yourself as a walking football encyclopaedia or simply enjoy a lunchtime challenge, BBC Sport's suite of daily football quizzes offers a sharp, satisfying way to prove your knowledge — and there are three distinct formats to keep things interesting.
Three formats, three different challenges
The flagship quiz, Who Am I?, tasks you with identifying a footballer using the fewest clues possible. Each wrong answer unlocks a new hint, but the fewer you need, the higher your score. It rewards genuine depth of knowledge rather than lucky guessing, and the satisfaction of nailing it on the first clue is hard to beat.
Five in Five takes a different approach: five correct answers inside five minutes. It is a genuine test of recall under pressure, the kind of format that will have you furiously scrolling through your mental database while the clock ticks down. Miss one and the tension ratchets up immediately.
The Brainteaser is the most unforgiving of the three. A single fiendishly difficult question stands between you and the answer, and you are given just five lives before the solution is revealed. Think of it as the penalty shootout of football trivia — nerves of steel required.
Something for every level of fan
What makes this trio work well together is that each format genuinely tests something different. Who Am I? rewards breadth and obscure player knowledge. Five in Five is about speed and breadth across competitions and eras. The Brainteaser drills down into the kind of niche detail that separates the casual supporter from the obsessive. Together, they cover a wide enough range that no two days feel the same.
Questions are set daily — on this occasion by Flora Snelson and Joe Rindl — which means the content is always fresh and topical. Regular players will notice that the difficulty fluctuates: some days feel almost cruel, others invite a rare perfect score.
Why daily quizzes matter for football culture
There is something genuinely communal about a shared daily quiz. The crossword has done it for newspapers for decades, and football has its own rich tradition of pub-quiz arguments and playground debates over stats and facts. BBC Sport's quizzes tap into that same instinct — the urge to demonstrate, and occasionally be humbled by, what you actually know about the game you love.
With the football calendar running from August through to May and international tournaments filling the summer gaps, there is always fresh material to draw from. The quizzes nod to the full breadth of the game: club football across the divisions, international football, and increasingly, coverage that stretches across both the men's and women's game.
Where to find them
All three quizzes are available daily on BBC Sport's dedicated football quizzes page. Fans can also sign up for notifications to receive each new quiz directly to their device, ensuring you never miss the chance to start your day with a proper football brain workout.
