Football Games: common questions
What counts as a football arcade game?
An arcade football game keeps one football idea — a shot, a dribble, a pass — and turns it into a short scoring loop with simple controls. There are no leagues to manage, no transfer windows and no long matches. A round usually lasts between thirty seconds and three minutes.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Every game on this page is HTML5 and JavaScript running inside the page you are already looking at. There is nothing to download and no plugin to enable.
Are the games free?
Yes. All games on Football Arcade are free to play, with no account and no sign-up. The site is funded by advertising.
Will my score be saved?
Your personal best for each game is stored in your browser's local storage, on the device you played on. It is not uploaded anywhere, so it will not follow you to another device and it disappears if you clear site data.
