About SquadXOX

A daily football grid built on one simple idea: the best football fans remember the players nobody else does.

What it is

The daily footy grid

SquadXOX is a free football grid game — a footy grid, or football tic tac toe — where you fill a 3×3 board by naming a player who turned out for both the row club and the column club. It takes a minute to learn and years of watching football to truly master.

It is playable right here in your browser and on mobile, with a new grid every single day and real-time duels against other fans.

The idea

Football IQ is the product

Most trivia games ask you for a fact and mark it right or wrong. SquadXOX asks for something harder: depth. Almost every cell has an easy answer the whole world knows — and a dozen obscure ones only the real heads remember.

That is why every answer is scored by rarity. Naming the superstar is fine. Naming the third-choice goalkeeper who spent one loan season there in 2011 is what earns bragging rights. The grid becomes a measure of how deep your football memory really goes — your Football IQ.

What you get

Fair, fast, and free
