A community hub: what's on, every team, news, table and a membership call to action.
A match centre — the game front and centre, with squad, fixtures, reports and video.
A bento grid that puts the roster, the stories and the next match in one tidy mosaic.
Heritage
Crest-led and classical, for clubs whose history is the point.
Navy and gold, centred crest, honours across the front — then fixtures, squad and table.

Free WordPress Football Theme FAQ
The questions we hear most before people buy. Still unsure? Our support team is happy to help.
How do I make a football club website with WordPress?
Install the free Matchday theme on any WordPress site, import one of the ready-made club designs and add your details. Fixtures, results, a league table, squad profiles and match reports are all built in, so you go from a blank site to a working club website without coding or extra plugins.
Is the football theme really free?
Yes — Matchday is a genuinely free WordPress theme with no trial, no locked features and no monthly fee. Download it, install it and run your club's site for nothing. We simply include a few optional add-ons (a club shop, memberships, ticketing) you can bolt on later if you ever need them.
Does it work for soccer as well as football?
Soccer and football are the same sport, and Matchday is built for it — whether your club calls it football or soccer. Fixtures, results, league tables and squad pages all work the same way, and you can set the wording to suit your region.
Can I add fixtures, results and a league table?
Yes. Add each match with the opponent, date, venue and competition, and Matchday builds your fixtures list, results archive, next-match countdown and league table automatically. No spreadsheets or third-party widgets required.
Do I need any coding or extra plugins?
No coding at all. Everything a club site needs — fixtures, squad, results, table, news and sponsors — is part of the theme. Import a demo design, swap in your own content and you're live.
Can players and staff have their own profiles?
Yes. Every player and coach gets a profile with a photo, squad number, position and bio, grouped by team so you can run a first team, reserves and youth sides from one site.
Will it work for my youth, Sunday league or five-a-side team?
It's built for grassroots. Matchday suits youth academies, Sunday league sides, five-a-side and futsal teams, women's teams, school and college teams — any club that wants fixtures, results and a squad page online for free.
Can I match the theme to my club's colours?
Yes. Set your club's primary and secondary kit colours in the WordPress Customizer and the whole site re-skins to match — no CSS needed. Add your crest and club name and it's unmistakably yours.
Is it mobile friendly?
Completely. Supporters check fixtures and results on their phones, so Matchday is mobile-first — galleries, tables and match reports all stay fast and readable on any screen.
Can I add a club shop, memberships or ticketing later?
Yes. Matchday works on its own for free, and when your club is ready to sell kit, take season-ticket payments or offer a members' area you can add one of our companion PremiumPress themes. Nothing is required up front.
Add a shop, memberships or ticketing
Matchday is free on its own. When your club is ready to sell kit or take payments, these companion themes slot right in.
