The Touchline

Touchline is the daily fixture for football fans who like to think. Every day brings a fresh set of quick puzzles — easy to pick up, hard to put down — built around the players, clubs and history of the world's game. Free, no ads, no sign-up needed to play. ⚽ GAFFER (new headline game) Draft a five-a-side from football's biggest names, past and present. Rank them blind, then play a full season and chase the highest score. Play it as many times as you like. 🕵️ MYSTERY MAN Name the day's mystery footballer. Every guess shows how close you are — matching on nationality, position, club and more — so each one narrows it down. Stuck? Reveal a clue, but a clue-free solve earns gold. 🔗 CONNECTIONS Sixteen names, four hidden groups. The only thing linking each four is the theme — and it's rarely the obvious one. Untangle all four without too many mistakes. ↕️ HIGHER / LOWER Career goals, caps and more. One call at a time — higher or lower? — and a streak that keeps growing until you slip.
