Live football scores from every league

The page fetches fresh data for itself every 30 seconds — there is nothing to refresh by hand — and the data on the server is never more than about 20 seconds old. Scores, the match clock and goalscorers keep moving with the game for as long as you leave the page open.

Refreshing stops on its own when you switch to another tab and resumes when you come back, so it is not spending your data and battery while you are not looking. To turn it off altogether, use the auto-refresh button beside the heading above.

It matters that the page reloads itself from the server rather than patching numbers in with a script: what you see and what a search engine sees are always the same markup.

The minute beside each match comes straight from the data source rather than being counted in your browser, so it follows the real match clock instead of guessing from the kick-off time.

Stoppage time is written in the form 45+2 or 90+4: the first number is the regulation time already completed, the number after the plus is the minute of added time. During the interval the clock stops.

A match at half time still counts as in play, so the count beside the heading above includes them. The game is not over and you will want to come back to it.

Sometimes a score goes up and then reverts. The usual reason is that the goal was disallowed after a VAR check — offside, a foul in the build-up, or the ball out of play earlier in the move.

That is not bad data; it is the sequence that actually happened. The goal was given, then withdrawn on review, and what is shown here follows the decision as soon as the source does.

The score flashes red briefly whenever the number changes, which includes a goal being taken away. To see what happened, open the match for its incident timeline, VAR checks included.

Football does not run around the clock. Open this page during a quiet hour and it shows today's fixtures instead, with kick-off times in Thai time, so you know when to come back.

That is better than a page saying there is nothing on, which helps neither a reader nor a search engine. For another day, use the fixtures page, where you can pick the date.

Open any match for its goalscorers with the minute each goal was scored, cards, substitutions, confirmed line-ups where the source publishes them, statistics such as possession and shots on target, and the head-to-head record between the two clubs.

If you are following several games at once, star the ones you care about and open the favourites page to see the score and match minute for all of them together.
