How to make a fixture poster for your pub

A fixture poster tells everyone walking past what's on, and when. The best ones are short: one competition, the next few matches, the kick-off times in big type, and the crests people recognise from across the room.

1. Pick one competition. The one your crowd actually comes in for. A poster with three leagues on it is read by nobody.
2. Show the next week, not the season. Six to eight matches fit on A4 at a size people can read from the door.
3. Put the kick-off times first. That's the question people have. The tool writes them in your time zone.
4. Hang it where people decide. The front window, by the door, and next to the bar where people order.
5. Give them a reason to come back. A QR code to your bar's prediction league turns "Arsenal play Saturday" into "I've got points riding on Saturday".

Why add a prediction league?

A poster brings people in for one match. A league brings the same people back for every match on it. Customers scan the code, guess the scores before kick-off, and a live table on one of your screens ranks them all season. Whoever is top comes back to defend it; whoever is chasing comes back to catch up. Fixtures and points run themselves, so there is no staff time, and there is no money involved: points only, and a small prize from the bar if you want one.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a football fixture poster for my pub?

Type your bar's name, pick the competition, and the poster fills itself with the next fixtures, kick-off times in your time zone and both clubs' crests. Add your logo if you like, choose a style, and print it on A4 or save it as a PDF. It is free and needs no sign-up.

Which competitions have fixtures filled in automatically?

The Premier League, LaLiga, the Champions League, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Israeli Premier League. For any other competition or sport, choose "Another competition" and type your own fixtures: the poster works the same way.

What is the QR code on the poster?

It opens your bar's own prediction league on BeTeam. Customers scan it, guess the scores of the matches you show before kick-off, and a live table on your screen ranks them all season. The league is free for the bar and for customers, with no betting and no money involved.

Do I have to create a league to use the poster?

No. The fixture poster works without one. The league only adds the QR code, which gives people who see the poster a reason to come back for every match on it.

How do I put the fixtures on a TV instead of paper?

Save the poster as a PDF or take a screenshot and show it on any screen. Bars with a league also get a live table page for their TV that counts down to the next match and updates during it.
