About us

What this site is

SoccerStreams is an independent guide to football programming. Its job is to answer three concrete questions that every fan asks on a matchday: which matches are on today, what time does the one I care about kick off, and which official channel is showing it. Nothing more, and nothing less.

The homepage brings together today's full agenda, ordered by competition, with the Premier League first because that is what most of our UK and US readers follow. Every match has its own page with the date, the kick-off time, the stadium when it is known, and the official broadcast information for its league. Every team has a page with its upcoming fixtures, and every competition has a page with its coming schedule and its broadcasters.

The idea is simple. On many results sites, finding one kick-off time among news, videos and adverts takes minutes. Here the time of the match is the first thing you see, on the homepage and on every match page.

Who we work for

Most visits come from the United Kingdom and the United States, and the guide is built for that audience. That is why kick-off times are published in London time, why every match page also shows the US Eastern time, and why the broadcast information always covers both countries. A fan in London, New York or Los Angeles each sees the channels that apply to them.

We follow the football this audience watches most: the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, the EFL Championship, the Scottish Premiership and MLS, then La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, plus the Europa League and the Conference League. If a competition is watched heavily in the UK or the US, it belongs in this guide.

We also keep pages that answer the searches fans actually make, such as soccer streams, reddit soccer streams and football streams, explaining clearly what sits behind those terms and guiding each reader to today's agenda and the official channels.

How the schedule is built each day

Every day, the system behind this site queries its data sources, downloads the fixtures scheduled for today and the next seven days, and rebuilds every page: the homepage, the match pages, the team pages and the competition pages. The process is automatic, and that has a clear advantage: the schedule never depends on anyone copying kick-off times by hand at the last minute.

When a competition moves a match, the change arrives with the next daily update. If a match is postponed or suspended, it leaves the agenda as soon as the source records it. Even so, before a big match it is worth checking the time against the competition's own information, because late changes do happen.

On each match page you will see a highlighted box with the quick answer: the day, the time in London and Eastern time, and the channel. Below it sit the full details of the fixture and more matches from the same competition, in case you want to keep exploring the round.

Where the data comes from

Match data comes from two public sources. The first is TheSportsDB, an open sports database maintained by its community, which provides dates, times, stadiums and the badges of many teams. The second is ESPN's public scoreboard information, which covers leagues the first source does not carry in full, and which powers the live scores while matches are being played.

We cross both sources and remove duplicates: if the same match appears in each, it is published once. The badges and the names of clubs, competitions and channels belong to their owners. We only organise public information about schedules and broadcasts, and present it in a form you can check in seconds.

Kick-off times and your time zone

All times are stored in universal time and shown by default in London time, the reference for our main audience. Every match page also prints the US Eastern time in plain text. If your browser is set to another time zone, a small script on the page converts each time to your local time the moment the page loads, without you doing anything.

If you switch scripts off in your browser, you will still see the London time, and the Eastern time is written on the match page itself. The information never hides behind a technical setting.

What this site does not do

SoccerStreams does not stream matches. We host no video, we run no match players, and we do not link to third party streams. When we say where to watch a match, we always mean the official channels and platforms that hold the rights for each competition in each country.

We also ask for no sign-up, we sell no tickets, and there is nothing to download to use the guide. Every page is free to read and built to load fast on a phone, which is where most people check the schedule before a match.

Accuracy and corrections

We publish a match when its date and time are confirmed by the source. We do not publish rumoured kick-off times or line-ups, and we do not add data we cannot check. When a time is still provisional, we prefer to wait for confirmation rather than announce a time that may change.

Even so, the data comes from third parties and mistakes are possible: a schedule change that was not communicated, a wrong badge, a stadium assigned in error. If you spot a problem, write to us at [email protected] or through the contact page, naming the match and the detail that is wrong.

We read the reports that arrive and fix the source of the error when it is in our hands, so the next update comes out right. If the error sits in the source itself, it is corrected as soon as the source corrects it. We would rather admit a mistake and fix it than leave wrong information published.

How the guide is funded

The guide is free, and we intend to keep it that way. The costs of the system that builds it and of the domain are covered without charging readers. If advertising is added in the future, it will never change the order of the fixtures or the channels we list: the agenda is built only from competition data, never from advertiser interests.

Contact

For anything about the guide, a published detail or a rights question, you can reach us at [email protected] and through the contact page, where we explain which topics we handle and what to include in your message. We reply within two to three working days.

If your question is about personal data, the privacy policy explains what data we handle, which is very little, and how to exercise your rights.
