Playbox: Play Real Football
Find a game or run a league
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
You turned up and there was no game. The squad fell apart an hour before kick-off. Someone still owes for the pitch.
Playbox fixes exactly that. One app for every format of amateur football: a one-off game, a weekly fixture, a tournament or a full league season.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Open the map and see games near you
2. Join in one tap and pay your share
3. Play, confirm the result, get your rating
NOT JUST ANOTHER GAME FINDER
Every match counts. Goals and assists go into your profile, both teams confirm the result, and your rating moves with how you actually played. Your football finally has a record.
- Player rating built on real matches, not opinions
- Verified stats, confirmed by both teams
- Teams, squads and friendlies
- Full leagues with tables, playoffs and transfers
- Match highlights and player cards
FOR ORGANISERS
Run your own games and leagues under your own name. Automatic team balancing, payments and refunds, waiting lists, recurring games and push notifications to your players. The community stays yours, and you keep earning from it.
Free to download. Play anywhere in the world.

41.6 Sep 19
What's new:
- The score of your match now lives on the lock screen while you play. The clock keeps running and goals show up without opening the app.
- The penalty shootout gets its own line, separate from the match score, the way football counts it.
- Each team is marked with its own colours, so you can tell the sides apart at a glance.
41.5 Sep 8
What's new:
- The strip under the clock is gone. The app runs edge to edge now, so the top of every screen is one colour instead of a pale band.
- Reliability, streak and calibration explain themselves. Tap the "i" next to any of them and you get plain words, not formulas.
- Empty screens tell you what to do next instead of showing zeros.
- Pulling the page no longer drags the header out of place.
41.4 Aug 31
What's new:
- Haptic feedback works again on iPhone. Every tap and action answers back, so you know it landed. Still switchable in Settings.
- Push notifications are fixed. Alerts about your match, your lineup and your payments reach you again without opening the app.
- Checkout is one screen now, with Apple Pay. Joining a game takes a couple of taps instead of a form.
- Cancellation fees are honest up front. You see the fee before you commit and pay it there, instead of finding it deducted later. Settle or cancel it from anywhere it shows up.
- Signing up stopped fighting you. The city step can use your location, you can fix your email on the spot, and an unfinished sign-up picks up where you left off.
- If you run leagues: rules live on their own screen, you close a season and open the next stage yourself, and technical results are supported.
- Smaller things: friendlier wording in Serbian, Georgian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Armenian, a jump-to-profile tag in chats, no more stuck gap under the keyboard, and the app recovers instead of freezing when a piece fails to load.
41.3 Aug 26
What's new in this update:
- Dark mode. The whole app now looks great in both light and dark themes.
- Redesigned Explore: a cleaner day strip with an All view, date dividers in the games feed, and worldwide games and leagues when there's nothing nearby yet.
- Livelier player photos. Your figure now pops out of the avatar frame across profiles, rosters and stacks.
- Easier game setup: a plain-language rules helper, a clear fee hint, scheduled games, and a cancel reason organizers can share.
- Smoother payments, with safeguards against double charges and clearer error messages.
- One share sheet for games, teams and communities.
- Faster launch and lots of stability fixes.
