Three quizzes. One sitting. How many points can you actually bank?

BBC Sport publishes a fresh set of football brain-teasers every day, and if you haven't stumbled across them yet, they're worth adding to your morning routine. The format is simple enough, but don't let that fool you — the questions can get properly awkward by the time you reach the Brainteaser.

What are the three quizzes?

  • Who Am I? — A hidden-identity challenge. You're presented with a mystery footballer and have to identify them in as few attempts as possible. Each wrong guess unlocks a new clue, so the fewer clues you need, the higher your score. The incentive to get there in one is real.
  • Five in Five — Five questions, five minutes on the clock. It sounds generous until you're staring at question three and the seconds are disappearing. Speed and accuracy both matter here.
  • Brainteaser — The hardest of the three. You get five lives before the answer is revealed, which sounds like plenty until you burn through three of them on a player you were convinced you knew inside out.

Who sets the questions?

According to BBC Sport, the questions are put together by staff alongside submissions from readers — today's set was credited to Joe Rindl and a BBC Sport user called Dave, based in Leicester. That community angle keeps things grounded. These aren't algorithmically generated trivia — there's a human being somewhere who has decided this particular question is fiendish enough to publish, which occasionally explains why the answer makes you want to throw your phone across the room.

Why bother?

The honest answer is that football knowledge is one of those things fans assume they have in abundance right up until the moment they're tested on it. The quizzes cover a wide range — club history, international records, domestic competition data — so they're a reasonable stress test of whether your knowledge is genuinely broad or just concentrated around the last five seasons of the Premier League.

They're also a useful touchstone if you play Fantasy Premier League. Understanding player histories, transfer patterns and positional versatility across different eras gives you slightly better context when making decisions about your squad. Not a substitute for form data, but not nothing either.

Where do you find them?

All three are hosted on the BBC Sport website and updated daily. BBC Sport also runs a dedicated Football Quizzes page that collects archived rounds, so if you miss a day you can go back and complete previous editions. You can sign up for notifications to get each day's quizzes sent directly to your device, which is a straightforward way to make sure you don't lose your streak.

If you want more, the site also links to a broader Sports Quizzes section covering other disciplines — useful during international breaks when football content is thinner on the ground and you need something to fill the gap.

The daily cadence is the key thing. One session won't tell you much, but come back consistently and you'll get a clearer picture of where your football knowledge is genuinely strong and where it's been propped up by assumption.
