There is no single best football quiz in 2026; the right one depends on how you like to play. For a daily guess-the-player puzzle, try Who Are Ya? or Footle in the browser.

Below we compare 18 football quiz games and apps by format, platforms and price, all checked on their own websites or store pages in October 2026.
Disclosure: GeoFootballer is our own game. We have tried to describe every quiz fairly, using only what its website or store listing says. We do not list ratings, download numbers or rankings, because we could not verify them.

The best daily guess-the-player quizzes
Who Are Ya? is part of the playfootball.games collection, which lists it as a daily game and describes it as "Guess the footballer from the picture". The same site hosts many other daily games, so it is a good starting point if you like several short puzzles in a row.
Footle by Ball IQ is closer to the original Wordle: you have six tries to guess a footballer's surname, and it is free without an account. FootballQuest from FootballDream gives you six attempts with attribute hints and asks you to make an account if you want to keep a streak. Futbolle bundles a "Player of the Day" with eight guesses into a much larger site of 17 solo and four multiplayer games, and says it is completely free with no sign-up and no download.
The best football trivia grids
Tiki-Taka-Toe turns football trivia into noughts and crosses, and you can play it online or with a friend. Box2Box, from the same site, is the single-player version of football tic-tac-toe. Both suit fans who know squads and transfers inside out.
The best quiz library
Sporcle has a dedicated soccer category full of user-made quizzes. It is free with ads, and there is a subscription option. If you want volume rather than a daily ritual, it is the obvious place to look.
The best football map quizzes
Three games ask you to put a pin on a map. If you are new to the idea, our page on the sports geography game explains how it works.
GeoFooty is the football edition of GeoSports, the game that made the "read the clue, tap the map, five questions a day" format popular in May 2026. Both come from sports creator Frank Michael Smith and his company Rhino Studios, and GeoSports says it was inspired by the geography game MapTap. GeoFooty drops five questions at midnight Eastern Time (5am in the UK), the same for everyone; you tap the globe and score up to 100 points per question by distance in miles, with later questions worth more, up to 1,000 a day. There is a daily top-50 leaderboard, streaks, groups and a form to submit questions. It runs in the browser and in the free GeoGames iPhone app alongside GeoSports and GeoHistory; GeoGames Pro adds past days and extra rounds. GeoFootballer follows the same basic format. Best for: the original version of the format, with a big community.
StadiumguessR by Half-Time FC is the closest stadium-only game. It shows you two stadiums a day, gives you 60 seconds each, and you click the map as close as you can to the real ground. Each stadium is worth up to 50 points, so the daily maximum is 100. It is free in the browser, and an account only helps to save progress and appear on leaderboards. Best for: a two-minute stadium test.
GeoFootballer asks about football moments rather than only stadiums: finals, last-minute winners, birthplaces and managers' clubs. Each day brings five questions at midnight German time (11pm in the UK), and you score up to 100 points per question by distance, with questions three to five counting double or triple. A free timed round adds five more questions with 30 seconds each. There are no ads, and an optional Pro subscription adds unlimited play in every category. Best for: football history with a geography twist.

How we compared
We visited each game's website or store page in October 2026 and only noted what the source states: format, platforms and pricing model. Where a source does not state the price, we say so. We did not include games we could not verify, and we did not rank the games by quality, because that depends on taste.
