Flex your football brain with BBC Sport's daily quizzes

BBC Sport published its daily football quizzes on 2026-08-26, with today's questions, clues and answers set by Joe Rindl. The package invites readers to try to beat all three of the site's daily quizzes.

The central challenge asks participants to guess a footballer in as few attempts as possible. After each incorrect guess a new clue becomes available, and the fewer clues a player needs the more points they score. The puzzles are structured to reward accuracy and speed.

Players face a limited number of attempts and a timed element: you have five lives before the answer is revealed and the format also includes a Five in Five challenge that requires five correct answers inside five minutes. The editorial copy describes today's individual question as fiendishly difficult.

The page also reminds readers not to overlook the BBC Sport Football Predictor deadline. In parallel, BBC Sport offers a separate Match of the Day Predictor game for readers who want an alternative contest on the site.

BBC Sport invites readers to submit their own quiz ideas; contributors should include their name and the correct answer with any question they send, and submissions may be featured in future quizzes. The site collects category pages for different formats, listing "Who Am I?", "Five in Five" and "Brainteaser" quizzes each in one place.

Examples of other quizzes linked on the page include "Football quiz: Name every club in the Premier League and EFL" and "Can you name the 10 Lionesses with most England caps?" These are presented alongside the broader Sports Quizzes offerings on the BBC Sport platform.
