Live match clock
Keep time for halves and stoppages without juggling a stopwatch and a notebook.
Run the match on the touchline.
Touchline is the Android app for grassroots football coaches — track your match events with a live clock, formations, starting lineups, substitutions, saves, goals and cards all from the side of the pitch. Record as much or as little as you want then share with parents or fans after the whistle goes.
Any age group · Every format from 2v2 to 11v11
Freely available in 10 languages ·
Built for coaches. Always works, even where your phone signal doesn’t, and its robust match clock even survives a phone reboot.

Touchline Plus
Touchline Plus: coach the whole squad, not just the match
Free runs the match. Touchline Plus helps with everything around it on matchday: picking the team, getting the subs right, keeping minutes fair and seeing how the season adds up.
Pick your team on the pitch
Drag players into your formation instead of juggling names on a list. Switch off anyone who can’t make it today and they’re greyed out so you can’t pick them by mistake, with injured and suspended players flagged too.
- Drag and drop, or tap a position to fill it
- Availability toggle for every player
- Change the formation before kick-off
Drag and drop substitutions, with minutes played on every shirt
Drag a bench player onto the pitch and see everyone’s minutes as you go. Changes are tagged ON, OFF or MOVED, so you can preview, undo and save them together, then the app lists exactly what to tell the players.
- Live minutes played on every shirt
- Preview and undo before you confirm
- Late arrival? Add them to the bench mid-match
Fair Play, at a glance
A simple bar under each player shows whether their minutes are fair: this game against a fair share of the match, and the season against the squad average. It’s a guide to help you decide, and it never picks your subs for you.
- On the pitch line-up and the Subs screen
- Each player’s last match and season on their record
- Switch it on for the season or just the matches you want
See how the season adds up
Season reports from your saved matches: who’s played how much, team stats, goals and assists, discipline, Player of the Match and when you score and concede. Filter by dates and match type, then export the tables as CSV.
- Minutes played, sortable by player
- Goals, assists, discipline and goal times
- Export to CSV
Goal Time Analysis
Spot trends — team tiring at the end of matches. See when you score and concede across the season, so late spikes jump out before the next fixture.
- Goals scored and conceded by minute
- Filter by dates and match type
- Part of the Touchline Plus reports hub
Change shape mid-match
Chasing the game or holding on? Switch formation from the Subs screen. The change is logged on the match timeline and the share card.
Away kit? Sorted.
Pick the shirt colour for this match only and the pitch, bench and squad list match what your players are wearing. Your team colour stays as it is.
Share the result
Send parents or fans a full-time card with scorers, assists, Player of the Match, cards with the offence, substitutions, saves, injuries and formation changes. Choose what goes on the card, and add your match report to the message.
Also with Touchline Plus: no advert after full time backups and restore early access to new and experimental features

Free vs Touchline Plus
Live match is never locked behind a hard paywall. A short ad after full time helps keep Free... free. Touchline Plus skips that ad and adds the pitch line-up, drag-and-drop subs, the Fair Play helper, season reports, sharing and backups.

Built for you — not for your league.
Touchline helps you coach in the moment: who’s on, who’s off, what’s the score, how long left. It is designed for touchline use, not for league or team administration — and we do not claim it can replace those tools.
Save the match on your phone, stay focused on the players, and dig into the season when you’re back in the car or at home.
Get Touchline on Google Play
