Three quizzes. One daily habit. BBC Sport has built a straightforward routine for football fans who want to put their knowledge to the test without sitting through a full-length podcast or column.

What the quizzes involve

The platform runs three formats every day, each one designed to challenge a slightly different type of football brain.

  • Who Am I? — You're given a mystery footballer and must identify them using as few clues as possible. The fewer prompts you need, the higher your score. It rewards genuine depth of knowledge rather than lucky guessing.
  • Five in Five — Five correct answers in five minutes. It's a straightforward time-pressured format that suits fans who know their stats and squads cold.
  • Brainteaser — A single, deliberately difficult question with five lives before the answer is revealed. Think of it as the daily crossword cryptic clue of football quizzing.

Who sets the questions?

According to BBC Sport, the questions are set by Flora Snelson and Joe Rindl — a small team putting together fresh material every day. The consistent authorship matters because it means the difficulty and tone stay relatively stable rather than lurching between trivial and impenetrable.

Why daily quizzes work for football fans

There's a simple reason formats like these have found an audience. Football knowledge tends to be highly specific — fans often know one era, one league or one club in exhaustive detail and have significant gaps elsewhere. A daily short-format quiz applies gentle pressure to those blind spots without demanding hours of revision.

The scoring mechanic on Who Am I? is a particularly neat design choice. Rewarding fewer clues rather than just a correct answer means experienced fans are incentivised to back their instinct early rather than waiting for an obvious giveaway. That shifts it from a trivia exercise to something closer to a confidence test.

Five in Five, meanwhile, suits the kind of fan who tracks leagues beyond the Premier League — you're unlikely to clean up on European or lower-league questions without a reasonably broad base. The five-minute window is tight enough to generate a small amount of genuine pressure.

How to access them

All three quizzes are available daily on the BBC Sport website under the Football section. BBC Sport also offers a notification service so fans can be alerted when the latest versions go live — useful if you want to compare scores before solutions circulate on social media. There are also archive pages collecting all previous Who Am I? and Five in Five editions for anyone who wants to work through a back catalogue.

For fans who already use the Match of the Day Predictor, the quiz suite sits naturally alongside it as part of a broader daily football engagement habit on the platform.

None of this requires any subscription or login beyond a standard BBC account, which keeps the barrier to entry low.
