Real-Time Multiplayer1v1 Competitive

Challenge players worldwide or invite friends in intense real-time football match duels.

PvP Battles transform FootyGuessr into a thrilling competitive sport. Face off against other players in real-time 1v1 matches where every answer matters. You and your opponent see the same iconic football match photo and race to identify the teams and exact score. The faster and more accurate you are, the higher your score—and the better your chances of winning.

Each PvP match consists of 3 intense rounds. You earn +5 points for correctly naming both teams and +10 points for predicting the exact final score. After all 3 rounds, whoever has accumulated the most points wins the match. Whether you're facing a random opponent in a Quick Match or battling a friend in a Private Match, PvP offers the ultimate test of football knowledge under pressure.

The competitive pressure is real—you have a time limit each round, and your opponent can see when you submit your answer. Will you crack under the time constraint, or will you deliver accurate answers faster than your rival? PvP Battles are where FootyGuessr legends are made.

PvP Strategy & Tips

Master the Timing

Don't rush! While speed matters, accuracy is crucial. Study the match photo carefully—look for team colors, kit designs, stadium details—before submitting. A correct answer beats a hasty guess every time.

Learn Team Identities

Memorize classic team colors, badge styles, and sponsor patterns across different eras. Many matches feature distinctive uniforms that make identification easier.

Go for the High Scores

Correct scores are worth double (+10 vs +5). If you can confidently identify both teams, take an educated guess on the score. The extra points could win you the match.

The matches featured are iconic moments from football history—World Cup finals, Champions League classics, historic derbies. Brush up on your football knowledge between matches.
