Run the match from the sideline.

Touchline is the Android app for grassroots soccer coaches — track your match events with a live clock, formations, starting lineups, substitutions, saves, goals and cards all from the sideline. 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.

Match history

Cup matches — ET & penalties

Mark the game as a Cup and choose what happens if the scores are still level. Cups, extra time and the shootout are in the free app; sharing the result card is Touchline Plus.

  • Extra time, then penalties if needed — play ET first; pens only if you’re still level. Set Extra time half duration (1–15 minutes) on this screen.
  • Straight to penalties (no extra time) — skip ET and go straight to the shootout.

Under optional Schedule details you can add Location/ground and Competition for your records.

Touchline Plus: coach the whole squad, not just the match

Free runs the match. Touchline Plus helps with everything around it on game day: picking the team, getting the subs right, keeping minutes fair and seeing how the season adds up.

Pick your team on the field

Drag players into your formation instead of juggling names on a list. Switch off anyone who can’t make it today and they’re grayed 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 kickoff

Drag and drop substitutions, with minutes played on every shirt

Drag a bench player onto the field 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
Subs screen at 19 minutes: minutes played on every shirt, two players tagged ON and two on the bench tagged OFF
Instructions to give the players after confirming subs: new formation, who is coming off, who is going on and who is moving position

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-field lineup 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
Fair Play on a player’s record: 27 minutes below fair share in the last match and 55% below the squad average for the season

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
Minutes played report for the season showing minutes, games and average minutes for each player, with an Export button

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 game.

  • 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.

Formation changed from 3-3-2 to 4-3-1 during the match, with MOVED, ON and OFF tags showing who changes

Away uniforms? Covered.

Pick the jersey color for this match only and the field, bench and squad list match what your players are wearing. Your team color stays as it is.

Starting lineup with the match kit set to sky blue, so every jersey circle on the field and in the squad list is sky blue

Share the result

Send parents or fans a final-score card with scorers, assists, Player of the Match, cards with the offense, substitutions, saves, injuries and formation changes. Choose what goes on the card, and add your match report to the message.

Full-time share card: Riverside Rovers 4, Meadow Park United 1 — home scorers, assists, subs, formation change, George yellow for dissent, POTM Alfie; away yellow for Unsporting behavior, a save and a penalty miss

Also with Touchline Plus: no advert after full time backups and restore early access to new and experimental features

Touchline is free to download. Touchline Plus is an optional in-app upgrade. Screens shown use a made-up demo team.

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 on-field lineup, 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 sideline 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.
