Free football tournament generator
Turn a team list into a league-style fixture schedule, assign the pitches available, enter scores and publish a simple live view for teams, parents or spectators.
Setup
Plan around pitches and match length
- Choose the available pitches before generation so concurrent matches receive different assignments.
- Round-robin standings record wins, draws, losses, goals for, goals against and goal difference.
- For a knockout event, switch to single elimination before generating the tournament.
Example: eight teams on two pitches
A one-leg league has 28 matches over seven logical rounds. Each round contains four matches, so two pitches need two playing slots per round. At 20 minutes per match, the fixture list uses 14 slots or about 280 minutes before breaks.
League or knockout?
Choose round robin for guaranteed games and a standings table based on the whole event.
Choose single elimination when venue time is tight and every match can remove one team from contention.
Organizer checks
- The generator assigns numbered pitches; it does not know travel time between separate venues.
- Verify age-group rules, match length, tie-breaks and rest requirements with the relevant organizer or governing body.
- The current builder does not create squad lists or referee assignments.
