Changelog

Each club's home ground is pinned on a map of the country, with the club list beside it. Clubs that share a ground share one pin, and clubs without a stored location are listed under the map.

A team's Seasons page now opens with a graph of every league finish, one band per tier, with titles, promotions and relegations marked. Click any point to open that season's table with the club highlighted.

The scores date control now shows the real date and opens a month calendar with a dot and a match count on match days, so you can jump straight to any day.

Match pages load faster and the nightly data refresh is smarter, so live scores, tables and match events stay up to date while using far fewer requests to the data provider.

Clubs that appeared twice under different names, such as Darlington and Darlington 1883, Colchester and Colchester United, or Halifax Town and FC Halifax Town, now have a single page with their full history. Old links redirect to the merged club. Reserve sides like Valencia Mestalla are linked to their first team, and clubs that split and coexisted are linked rather than merged.

When two records for the same club are merged, links to the old one now go straight to the club's page, on the same tab.

Finished seasons mark champions, promoted, play-off and relegated teams, plus a badge for European places that links to that competition. Teams that came up or down into the league get an arrow linking to where they came from.

A Season so far chart under the table plots each team's position by matchweek. The table also shows how far each team has moved since the last matchweek, and a Matchweek menu replaces the old slider.

The champions and movement panel on country pages now lists teams relegated into and promoted out of each league, not just promoted in and relegated out.

The Fixtures tab is now Matches. It opens on the current round, and you can step back and forward or jump to any round. Main is renamed Overview on competition and team pages.

Long competition and club names in the sidebar now cut off with an ellipsis instead of spilling over. Hover to see the full name.

Each W, D or L in a table's form column opens that match, and hovering shows the score and opponent, for example "W 2–1 vs Millwall (H), 4 Oct". The team column also takes up the spare width.

Match rows now work as one link to the match page. Team names inside a row still go to their own team pages.

Latest champions shows the last finished season, so the Premier League lists 2025-26 instead of whoever leads 2026-27. Honours and title counts follow the same rule.

Competition pages show when the data was last updated, with a button to fetch the latest table and fixtures. Team pages show the same freshness line for their league.

Flags are now images instead of emoji, so they look the same on every device. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own flags, and UEFA competitions show the EU flag.

League seasons can show the table after any round, a form table over the last 5, 6 or 10 games, and a Results tab with every home and away score in a grid.

Seasons that started after the summer rollover now have their promotion, European and relegation zones. Team pages also pick the right season when two seasons start in the same year.

Season labels follow each competition's format, so calendar-year leagues read 2026 and split-year leagues read 2026-27. Matches are filed under the season they belong to, and unfinished seasons are no longer called completed.

Seasons still in progress had a champion recorded from whoever led the table at the time. Those 184 rows are gone.

22 clubs that showed no crest now have one.

Seasons that were filed under the wrong label have been fixed, and 574 matches that sat in the wrong season have been moved to the right one.

Background refreshes and the refresh button now have separate shares of the daily API-Football quota, so a busy night can't use up the button's share. Search engines are asked to stay off match pages and API routes.

Match pages show the score, scorers, a goal and red card timeline, form going in, head-to-head and the table, with a knockout view for cup ties. Every match row on the site links to one.

The seasons list shows "In progress · leading Manchester City" instead of naming a champion before the season ends.

1,620 clubs are now linked to Wikidata, and 44 names had their casing or accents corrected, so Gais now reads GAIS and IFK Goteborg reads IFK Göteborg. New clubs are also checked against existing ones before they're added, which cuts down on duplicates.

League tables have an All / Home / Away switch. Team pages link into a season's table with the club already marked, the [ and ] keys step between seasons, and printing a page leaves out the menus.

UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, CAF and AFC pages show each member country's top two leagues and cups, with a link to its full pyramid.

The 1999/2000 season uses the same short label as every other season. Old links still work.

Competitions with knockout rounds get a Knockout tab with a bracket, including the UEFA cups and league play-offs. Scores show extra time and penalties, like "1–1 (4–3 pens)", and cup seasons name their winner.

Grounds that share a name, like the three St James' Parks, each get their own page, and the shared name lists all of them. Newcastle's recent results show up again.

A scores widget with live, finished and upcoming filters and a date stepper sits on the home page and on football, country, confederation, competition and team pages. When a page has nothing on today, it jumps to the nearest match day. The home page is now grouped by sport.

The nightly refresh now finds new seasons and moves each league on to them. Fixtures by date cover every season, so past dates still show last season's matches.

A search box in the header finds teams, competitions, countries, cities, stadiums and confederations, with suggestions as you type.

Country pages had some wrong or missing champions, and team pages showed the wrong round reached in some European campaigns. Both are fixed.

Team logos show next to team names in scores and fixtures. Team and competition pages use their own logo as the browser tab icon, and clubs that had no logo now get one.

The team Matches tab shows every match in a season, grouped by month, with a season picker and League, Cups and Continental filters.

The sidebar shows what's around the current page first: the league pyramid, nearby clubs or today's matches. Below that are your last five pages, kept in your browser only, and the full index.

Old leagues show "Defunct · last season 2003-04 · renamed to Championship" instead of warning that this season hasn't loaded.

A skip link for keyboard users, club crests from Wikimedia load again, every tab has its own page title, and counts read "1 competition" not "1 competitions". Empty panels on stub teams are hidden and score order in team match lists is right.

Seasons with no recorded team count now count the teams in their table, so pyramids and competition pages stop showing blanks.

Competition pages have a season switcher that follows renames, so stepping back from the Championship's first season lands on the old First Division. A tier stepper moves one division up or down in the same season.

Entity pages swap the side infobox for one facts line under the title, such as country, tier and number of teams. Most pages now use the full width.

Football in a country shows its league pyramid for one season, with a season picker and that season's champions, promoted and relegated teams. Each confederation has its own page too.

Click any column header to sort a table, and click again to reverse it. Form shows as small W, D and L squares, and each row has the club's logo.

Team and competition overviews show a generated summary, marked as such, with the model and date it was written and links to the clubs and places it mentions.

A team's city and stadium are now links. Each page lists the clubs based there and their current league.

Country flags appear across the site, long panels collapse behind Show all, and every sport has a page, even those with no data yet.

Team pages show the club's league table, its matches, honours and linked clubs such as reserve or phoenix sides. Season history marks promotions, relegations and gaps in our data.

Competition pages list a season's fixtures by month, an all-time table across every season we hold, and every title-winning season under Most titles.

On phones the sidebar opens from a Menu button, and league tables drop to position, team, played, goal difference and points so they fit without scrolling sideways.

If this season's data isn't in yet, pages say so and show the last completed season. Team season history splits league and European campaigns, and European rows show the round reached.

The site gets its full layout: a header, a sidebar grouped by confederation, breadcrumbs, tabs and a footer. Competitions that no longer run move into a Historic list.

The first version of the site, with a home page listing every football competition and a page for each team. Almanac used to be a terminal app called sport-project.

The new season's tables and fixtures are in for the leagues we follow.

Every change to the site now gets a smoke test that walks the pages before it ships. Writes to the API need a service token, a data quality scan runs every night, and wireframes for every page are in the repo.
