FutAve - What To Watch
Soccer Match Ratings & Scores
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Hundreds of matches every week. FutAve tells you which ones are worth your time, and why.
We rate every match before kickoff, make the case for watching it, follow it live, and tell you at full time whether it delivered.
TOP PICKS
Home leads with the three matches worth watching today, across competitions. Each comes with a verdict, from "Don't miss this one" to "One for the fans", and the reasons behind it.
MATCH PAGES THAT FOLLOW THE GAME
• Before kickoff: the case for your time, players to watch, team news, and confirmed lineups as soon as they're out.
• Live: the story so far, with every goal and red card, plus stats, momentum and the table as it stands.
• After full time: player of the match, how it happened, highlights, and our answer to "Did it deliver?"

Fixes a freeze that could close FutAve when you opened a match or tapped a goal notification while a Live Activity was running. Live Activities started for your followed matches also pick up score updates straight away again.
1.16.1 4d ago
Introducing the live board. When kickoffs overlap, every live match lands in one list, ranked by what's worth watching right now, with the reason for each: level late on, one goal in it, extra time. Find it next to Live now on Top Picks.
Coffee-table mode for iPhone Duo. Turn it on its side and fold it halfway open. The top half becomes a big scoreboard you can read from across the room, and the screen stays on while the match is live.
Leagues and clubs now use both pages of iPhone Duo, and club stats open with the story of the season, home and away side by side.
Plus: goals cancelled by VAR stay off the score, and match reminders move when a kickoff changes.
1.16.0 4d ago
Every player now has a match page. Tap a player in the lineups, the timeline or the match story to see their rating, where they led the match, and how it compares with their recent games. On iPhone Duo, iPad and unfolded foldables it opens right beside the match.
Built for iPhone Duo in split view: on the left page, FutAve's tabs now sit on the outer edge, where iPhone Duo puts them.
Match stats come grouped in each team's colors, coaches appear in the timeline and lineups, club fixtures open on what's next, and Europa and Conference League tables show their phases. Plus a freer tactics board and lots of polish.
1.15.3 Oct 22
Made for iPhone Duo. Open it up and tap any match or club: it opens on the other page, beside the list. The same side pane works on iPad and unfolded foldables.
Plan the game on a bigger board. The tactics board puts both XIs on one pitch with the halfway line on the Duo's fold, and the Lineup Builder lays your XI on one page and the squad on the other.
Every match page now follows the match: why it's worth watching before kickoff, the story so far while it's live, and whether it delivered after full time. Confirmed lineups lead, and the page goes live at kickoff on its own.
Home leads with three picks across competitions, the schedule rolls over at midnight, and matches open instantly. Scrolling is smoother everywhere. Plus sharper notifications, Live Activities that fit the Dynamic Island, and lots of polish across leagues, clubs and players.
1.15.2 Oct 21
Your home screen and Lock Screen, redesigned.
The Top Picks widget leads with the one match worth your time, and why, then shows what else to watch. The Your teams widget keeps the next match for every club you follow one glance away.
Live Activities follow your match from the kickoff countdown to the final whistle, with a ticking clock, the latest goal and a full-time nudge to see if it delivered. They now go live on their own at kickoff, show proper crests in the Dynamic Island, and clear themselves shortly after the match ends.
Notifications only for the teams and matches you follow. Goals and red cards now show the player or team, Today's pick leans toward your teams, and new switches let you choose exactly what reaches you: Today's pick, Match picks, Half time and Lineups.

Every World Cup page now moves with the matches. Scores tick in near

update "as it stands" — watch teams swap places the moment a goal
goes in, on the group pages, the groups overview, and right on the match page.

within minutes of each final whistle. Who took control, who's in
trouble, and the next match that decides it — written new after every
matchday, for all 12 groups.
Your nation's page knows the score now too. See where they stand
("1st in Group A — win to advance"), their results at a glance, and
what's next — from the group stage all the way to the Final.
Plus: live matches jump to the top of your home screen, the groups
browser shows real standings instead of seedings once play begins,
and we fixed an issue where in-progress matches could briefly
disappear from World Cup pages.
