How to play The Matchball

The Matchball is a simple and fun fantasy game based around how teams do in real-life matches.

For every football match, you pick a team for one of five categories. Each team earns points on their performance in each category. Your score is a total from the teams you picked.

Currently, the following competitions are available in The Matchball: Premier League, Champions League, Serie A, La Liga, Championship.

How to play

For each game, you pick one team to earn you points in each of the five points categories:

You can change your selections right up until the game starts.

As the game is played you will earn points based on your chosen team's performance points. Your total points are updated in real-time as each football game progresses.

During each game you play against other players around the world to battle it out to become mini-league champion.

You can earn in-game coins and Boosts by playing and performing well. Boosts improve your points in different categories, giving you a points "boost" over other players. Coins can be used to buy boosts.

Playing against others

Every player is automatically entered into each game's mini-league. The top 3 players win Boosts.

There is also a Global League table, where all players compete together for the weekly title.
