Derby Duel

Football Bingo - Online Bingo Style Football Game

Football Bingo puts you both on ONE board. A name claims every matching square that sits next to another of yours - and a claimed square never changes hands, so where you start matters as much as what you know.

How do you play Football Bingo?

Shared 4×4 board · turn-based · 20s a turn

One shared board: each of the 16 squares holds a criterion - a club crest, a flag, a league badge, a position. You take turns naming one footballer; the name claims the matching squares that are NEXT TO EACH OTHER (side, above, below) in your colour, and they stay. A claimed square never changes hands.

Step by step

  1. Focus on the traits on the board.
  2. Matching squares link up side by side or top to bottom.
  3. Write a name and take the most squares!

How do you win Football Bingo?

Most squares wins; ties go to lines of four. Filling the board ends the match at once.

Matchmaking decides which game you play; both players get the same one.

Where the questions come from

Every question and clue is generated from real records in the Derby Duel database. Real match results, squads and season statistics collected from the leagues and cups of 6 countries - no value is estimated, and nothing that is not in the source turns up in the game.

Tips for Football Bingo

  • Your player takes every connected square he fits. A name that matches several club, nationality, league and position squares at once can claim a lot in one move.
  • Claimed squares never change hands. Painting the area your opponent is about to close both raises your score and stops theirs.
  • Ties are broken by the number of four-in-a-rows, and filling the board ends the match immediately. If you are ahead, closing the remaining squares seals it.
