Three quizzes, one habit. BBC Sport publishes a fresh set of football brain-teasers every day, and if you have not made them part of your morning routine yet, here is what you are missing — and why they are worth your time.

What are the three daily quizzes?

  • Who Am I? — A guess-the-footballer format where you earn more points the fewer clues you need. Each wrong answer unlocks a new hint, so there is a genuine trade-off between confidence and caution.
  • Five in Five — Five questions, five minutes on the clock. It rewards breadth of knowledge rather than specialist depth, making it the most accessible of the three for casual fans.
  • Brainteaser — The hardest of the trio. You get five lives before the answer is revealed, and the questions are, by the BBC's own admission, fiendishly difficult. This one separates the obsessives from the merely interested.

Why bother with daily football quizzes?

The format works because it is low-commitment but high-engagement. You can complete all three in under ten minutes, yet the daily reset means there is always a reason to come back. For anyone who devours match reports, transfer news and statistics, quizzes are a practical way to find out whether passive consumption has actually translated into retained knowledge.

There is also the social element. Scores are shareable, which means office arguments about who knows football better can now be settled with evidence rather than volume.

Who sets the questions?

According to BBC Sport, today's questions across all three formats were set by Flora Snelson and Joe Rindl. The questions change daily, so repeat visitors are not recycling old material.

Where do they sit alongside bigger football quiz culture in the UK?

The BBC quizzes arrive at a time when football trivia culture is genuinely thriving. Wordle-style daily games have normalised the habit of a single short challenge per day, and football has adapted accordingly — from club-specific guessing games to transfer-history testers. The BBC format is notable for combining three distinct quiz styles rather than leaning on one gimmick, which gives it broader appeal.

For Fantasy Premier League managers in particular (a group already accustomed to obsessing over statistics and player profiles), the Who Am I? format is a natural extension of the kind of player-by-player thinking that goes into weekly squad selections.

How to access them

All three quizzes are available on the BBC Sport website. You can also sign up for notifications to have the latest quizzes sent directly to your device, which removes the friction of remembering to visit. BBC Sport also maintains archive pages for all previous Who Am I? and Five in Five editions, so there is a substantial back catalogue if you want to catch up or simply need more material to fill a commute.

The Match of the Day Predictor — a separate BBC Sport product — runs alongside the quizzes as another free, interactive way to engage with the weekly fixture list, though it operates on a different deadline-based format.

Bottom line: if you consider yourself a genuine football fan, the daily Brainteaser alone will quickly tell you whether that self-assessment holds up.
