Some teams aren’t listed yet. Please contact us and we can usually add it — each team takes time to add and maintain, but the list keeps growing.

Why can’t I watch official football highlights for some matches?

We aim to provide official or reliable, good-quality highlights when they’re available in your country. Copyright or regional restrictions can make them hard to find. If you can share a trustworthy source for missing highlights, we’d love to hear from you.

How can I get notified when my team plays?

Open a team page and click the notifications icon in the banner to choose when to receive match reminders via push notifications.

Why can’t I enable football match notifications?

Your device or browser is probably blocking notifications. Check your browser’s notification settings and permissions.

Will I receive notifications on all my devices (phone, tablet, laptop...)?

No. To protect your privacy we don’t require an account or store personal data, so settings aren’t shared across devices.

Why didn’t I get my football match notification?

Mobile operating systems can delay or block push delivery to save battery. Please review the following:

• Ensure notifications are allowed for WhenIsTheMatch in your browser/device settings.
• On Android, disable the “Remove permissions if app is unused” option.
• Keep the application open or recently active to help ensure timely delivery.

Will WhenIsTheMatch provide live football scores?

Yes, live scores are planned to enhance the experience, but:

• Our focus is still on schedules, notifications, and highlights for fans who can’t watch live.
• Plenty of dedicated live-commentary sites exist, so our live scores will remain simple.
• Live-score APIs have extra costs, so we’ll roll this out carefully.

Can I watch live football matches on WhenIsTheMatch?

No, we don’t stream matches. We provide schedules, TV channels, and highlights so you know where and when to watch legally.

Will league tables and cup standings be available?

Likely in the future, once the site reaches enough regular users to justify it.

Will there be more football match notifications?

Yes. Planned options include:

• Opt-in alerts when match highlights are available.
• No plans for minute-by-minute alerts, such as goals or injuries.

Will football stats or match statistics be added?

Not for now. To keep the site fast and simple we’re focusing on fixtures, results, and highlights.

Will betting odds be included on WhenIsTheMatch?
