Discover Your Match Day Upgrade
Never miss a moment when the match kicks off
Kick-off times don’t always line up with your plans. Whether you’re commuting, out with friends or maybe just pretending to focus on something else, your phone can keep you right in the action. With the right set-up, you won’t miss a goal, a red card or that last-minute winner.
Follow live scores and updates in real time
Live score apps and official competition feeds direct to your phone will mean you’re never left out. These can all bring real-time updates, goals, and substitutions straight to your screen within seconds.
You could also pin widgets to your home screen for at-a-glance scorelines or keep a live match tracker open whilst you’re doing other things. It’s the quickest way to stay informed when you can’t stream the full game.
Get instant alerts without interrupting the action
Notifications are useful, but no one wants their phone to be buzzing non-stop. With custom alerts, you can choose exactly what matters: goals, full-time results, or big match events only.
By fine-tuning your notification settings, you stay in control. That means fewer distractions and no spoilers that ruin the moment before you’re ready.
Keep up with multiple games at once
There’s often more than one fixture worth watching on match days. With a large, clear display and split-screen features, you can track one game while checking scores from another.
Switching between apps is seamless on the right devices, so you can move from a live stream to stats, to social reactions, without missing a beat. If there’s drama unfolding across the league, you’ll see it all as it happens.
Turn your phone into a second screen
Sometimes the main TV is taken. Sometimes you’re travelling. Sometimes you just want the match closer to hand. That’s where your phone steps up. With the right features, it can become your very own personal match hub.
Stream matches, wherever you are
Reliable streaming is non-negotiable on match day. A fast connection and a powerful processor in your phone will help keep everything running smoothly, so you won’t be staring at a buffering wheel just as someone lines up a penalty.
The latest phones are built to handle high-quality streams without lag, which means you can watch live coverage on the train, in the kitchen or in the garden without missing a moment.
Make the most of a wide, immersive display
Football is made for big views. A wide horizontal screen and generous display size give you a clearer look at every pass, tackle and goal.
Just switch your phone to landscape mode and you’ve got a pocket-sized stadium. Crisp visuals and edge-to-edge screens make it easier to follow the ball, read on-screen stats and stay locked into the action.
Set up hands-free viewing at home or on the go
You probably don’t want to hold onto your phone for the full 90 minutes. A simple stand or case with a built-in kickstand can turn your device into a mini match screen. Foldable phones take it a step further; many can stand on their own, making it even easier to watch the match without any extra support.
At home, simply prop your phone on the coffee table while you cook or chat. On the move, rest it on a tray table or desk and settle in. Just add wireless earbuds or a portable speaker, and you’ve got a flexible match-day set-up that works wherever you are.
Stay powered from the first whistle to extra time
Nothing kills match-day vibes faster than a dying battery before the final whistle. Phones with big batteries and smart power management will help you to stay connected through live updates, streams and socials, without worrying about finding a charger halfway through the game. Some devices also include features that stretch how long your battery lasts and speed up top-ups when you need them most.
Rely on long battery life for all-day football
Phones with larger capacity batteries (around 5,000 mAh+) often deliver all-day endurance, even with heavy usage such as streaming and notifications. Some models boast extended battery life that can comfortably support match-day use and then some.
By choosing a device with efficient hardware and software optimisation, you can enjoy long screen-on time for live coverage, score updates and replay clips without constantly checking your battery percentage.
Use smart battery features to stretch match time further
Most smartphones offer battery management tools that help you to preserve power when you need it most. This includes options such as adaptive or optimised charging, which learns your habits and adjusts how the battery charges and discharges.
Power-saving modes can also reduce background activity and lower your screen brightness to squeeze out a few extra hours, which can be handy when you’re waiting for full-time drama.
Charge quickly between fixtures
Whilst long battery life can get you through the match, fast charging gets you ready for the next one. Using a certified fast charger and cable that matches your phone’s supported standard (such as USB-PD or proprietary fast-charge protocols) can make a noticeable difference to top-up times, getting you to a useful percentage in the time it takes to grab a drink.
Quick charges are especially useful during half-time or between games, giving your device enough power to keep streaming or posting without long waits. Just make sure you pair the right accessories for maximum efficiency.
Hear every chant, tackle and goal
Football is as much about sound as it is about sight. The roar of the crowd, the thud of a last-ditch tackle, it all adds to the atmosphere. With the right audio set-up, your phone can bring that energy closer, wherever you’re watching.
Why audio quality changes the viewing experience
Clear, powerful audio makes a bigger difference than you might think. Rich, balanced sound helps you pick up crowd reactions, referee whistles and subtle commentary that could get lost on lower-quality speakers.
The latest phones with enhanced stereo speakers and audio tuning help to create a fuller, more immersive feel. That means less tinny noise and more of the depth and drama that makes live sport so compelling. Even when you’re watching on a smaller screen, strong audio can make the experience feel bigger.
Using speakers and headphones for a stadium feel
If you’re watching solo, wireless earbuds or over-ear headphones can pull you right into the action. They block out background noise and let you focus on every chant and build-up play.
Watching with friends? Pair your phone with a portable speaker for louder, room-filling sound. Many modern devices connect quickly and stay stable, so you can enjoy clear audio without dropouts.
Capture and share your best match moments
Some of the best football memories won’t be on the pitch – they happen around it. Phones with high-quality cameras and easy-to-use editing tools let you record celebrations, reactions and last-minute winners, to keep your match-day moments alive long after the final whistle.
Record reactions, celebrations and last-minute winners
Whether it’s your own jump for joy or friends cheering, your smartphone can make capturing fast-moving action simple. Features such as image stabilisation and fast autofocus can help you to get sharp shots even when everyone’s moving or the room’s packed with excitement. With video, you can catch the build-up, the scream, and the celebration all in one take.
Edit and post highlights in seconds
Once you’ve captured the action, you can quickly trim, stitch, or add captions before sharing with your friends. Phones with built-in video editing apps and intuitive interfaces mean you don’t need to spend hours crafting content. With just a few taps and your clips are ready to post on social media or send to friends.
Fast processing speeds also let you move from recording to sharing without long waits, keeping your match-day excitement live and interactive. You can even create short highlight reels of multiple goals or reactions to share with your football circle.
