Create Your Own Soccer League Fixtures and Table
Posted on October 26, 2008
Filed Under Soccer, Sports |
It has been more than 2 months since I wrote the last template. I have been stuck in my job so I couldn’t do anything to pay more attention to this site. And within that time, I got a reminder email from English Football Association Agency, where they reminded me not to distribute anything regarding their English Premier League Fixtures and all related material except I paid a license for that. That is the reason why I dropped my English Premier League Fixtures excel spreadsheet from my site.
And in my pending comments boxes, I received a lot of request about the passwords or making other excel spreadsheet for other league.
Before, I decided to make a tutorial on this, but I my time is very limited to write. So, I decided to make a general soccer league table spreadsheet, where you can modify by yourself according to your needs. And there is no password on the excel sheet and the formula, so you can learn all the logic and the formula inside. I just protected the link to my website, and I will be very happy if you don’t remove that link.
Comparing with my previous league sheets, I removed the graph and individual team fixtures due to complicated function that have to be managed to make it general. I am still try to make general and hopefully I can release it in next version.
This soccer spreadsheet consists of 5 sheets, i.e :
1. Initial Setup
2. League Table
3. Fixtures and Results
4. Deduction
5. Setting
I hide ’setting’ sheet, to avoid some misstyping while you are working with this sheet. You will easily unhide the sheet from the sheet menu.

Initial Setup Sheet.
This is basically the first sheet where you have to put a number of team to participate in the league. I limited the maximum number of team to 24 teams. If you need more than 24 teams, try to learn the logic and formula inside and you can have your own excel league table spreadsheet. In this sheet, I put 20 teams and write all 20 sample teams in the corresponding cells. You can just change the sample teams with your teams.

League Table Sheet.
The league table will change automatically based on the name and number of teams you put in the ‘initial setup’ sheet and also the results from ‘fixtures and results’ sheet.

Fixtures and Results Sheet.
You can copy or change the sample teams in this worksheet. Fill the match result in the corresponding boxes.

Deduction Sheet.
Perhaps this is just a redundant sheet, because it is needed when there is some team get a point deduction from their corresponding league association.
I made a little survey about some league fixtures that can be created using this templates, some of them are Portugal, Greece, Holland, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Switzerland League Fixtures. But probably it won’t fit Argentine or Brazil League because of different league format, I don’t know much about African or Asian league but as long as the league is in full competition format, you can use this spreadsheet.
That’s all guys. If you need some support you can leave a comments, but I apologized that probably I cannot answer it in the short time because of my time limitation.
You can download the spreadsheet here.
You can download the spreadsheet for openoffice version here.
Finally, I finished soccer league fixtures and table with automatic fixtures list generator. So, if you want to create competition matches from the scratch where you also have to design the matches schedule, you can use this spreadsheet. You can download it here.
Have fun.
You can read and download my other templates below :
- Ligue 1 Fixtures 2009/2010
- Serie A Fixtures 2008/2009
- La Liga Fixtures 2009/2010

How come u dont have one for the EPL
I have been crying out loud for such a template where i can modify and create leagues on my own. You have made my day!
Awesome job..
Thanks..
Hi guy
i would like to translate the template in french and spanish, for own use. Can i do it?
Thanks for nice job you did!
I have a question, does the template fit the La Liga, because in the rule of La Liga said “Teams are ranked by total points, with the highest-ranked club at the end of the season crowned champion. If points are equal between two or more clubs, head-to-head results usually determine their placement.” So I want to know is this template is fit or not?
Hey, You had done a wonderful job. I would like to get the functionality of the Team Fixtures so I can added to my custom league table
I don’t suppose you have anything like this with player statistics too.
i.e. adding the scorers name and assists for each game and then having those stats on a top scorer top assist table.
Many Thanks,
PS This is a very good spreadsheet.
njrit kenapa gg ada EPL..?
woi bales..
gg pake lama…
“How come u dont have one for the EPL..”
EPL gg laku?
bassey, there was one available for the EPL & I have it. Don’t know why it has been removed though!!
Your template is great…thanks.
Can you define the header abbreviations used in the League Table sheet?
I think I know most but not sure.
For Bassey, NH, Aink and others who are looking for the EPL fixtures sheet, basically the first fixtures I made is the EPL, but I got a warning from the FA to drop the EPL fixtures except I paid for the license. I hope you can understand the situation.
Regards - RM
Amadou,
You can translate my sheet into your language.
Regards - RM
Brucew,
The abbreviations are as follows : P-Played, W-Win, D-Draw, L-Lose, F-Goals Scored For, A-Goals Scored Against, GD-Goal Difference, Pts-Points
Regards - RM
Really nice spread man, thanks a lot! I only had to search about 10 seconds to find this and become a satisfied, happy man
I have tried General football lite v1.5 and it is brilliant. It has only a small fault.
If you use below 20 teams (e.g. 18) a team must get at least a point before it is shown on the table. Otherwise in its place a zero shows up and no stats are kept.
Thanks.
I’m trying to transpose this for Rugby Union. Would love to speak with you about some slight modifications.
Beautiful footy table!
hi this spreadsheet is V1.5, would you give V1.7 ?
Please…
A M A Z I N G!
Was just looking for this, thanks!
come mai con 22 squadre le ultime due non me le prende nella classifica??
Why dont the fixtures update very nice btw
Hi,
Brilliant excel sheet.
Thanks very much very useful for my sons football team and league.
Just wondering is it possible to have a positive deduction?
Because a couple of games have been abandoned and the points have been given to the away team as the home team have thrown the game. So scores have been put in as 0-0, so one team needs point deducting which is ok. But the other team requires 2 point added.
Thanks again
Dan.
Brilliant sir,Bt Plz Help Me To Know How U Hve Done Those Graphs Related to A Teams Performance…………………..
Hi !
How do I change winning points from 3 to 2 ?. I would like to use this template for junior icehockey, but then winners should get only 2 points to League Table Sheet.
Regards
Matti
Hi Matti,
You can change the points by going to sheet ‘Setting’ and go to column AC, you will find number 3 and 1 inside the formula. Change 3 into 2 for all used rows, and you will have the winning team get 2 points when they win.
Regards
icant find the hide seting sheet please help
why you hide the settings icant find it
i want to ask this sheet is only for 20 teams or for 16 teams too because whith 16 teams i have a problem
is this true?
Hi Pano,
You can modify the formula by unprotect the sheet first. There is no password protection there. If you want to modify the setting sheet, you should unhide it first by going to menu > format > sheet > unhide.
Regards
I wants can like you ?
greatly help teach me has please
I wants way hole makes to are data graph like your
I has begged for to take with
thank you very much
Hi,
I looked at your soccer sheet with interest and was very impressed if not staggered at how well a spreadsheet can be used.
I play and coach tennis at a small inner city community tennis club. Our local leagues are a mess and an embarassement. The people who run them do so in their own time voluntarily mean well but just don’t do the job properly and so they are poorly supported and have little significance.
I was looking for a spreadsheet to help run these leagues. I have tried to dabble with your sheet for many hours but I’m simply not skilled enough to create what I am looking for!
I don’t know if you have time to help but I am willing to make a donation as gratitude.
It is difficult to explain here but if you get in touch via e-mail I can submit my ideas on a blank spreadsheet to give you an idea of what im looking for.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hey, Awesome sheet thanks alot but i have one problem.
I have changed it to 10 teams but the fixtures part is still showing fixtures for 20 teams?
Please help
Roon3y
Nice work..but why don’t the team names in fixtures and results sheet change when i change the names in the initial setup sheet ?
Hi, great site!!!
Can I create a small league with just 4 teams??
Thanks
I want to ask how to only have 4 teams, i want to use it fore an indoor tournament.
Isn’t there anyway for you to just remove the password so one can edit away that annoying link at the league table?.
I’m going to use it just for my own and i already got you in my favorites on IE so i don’t need that if you know what i mean.
You did a great job though and a big thanks
Best regards
Mac
Hi Roon3y,
You have to change the teams in fixtures sheet manually, because when you change the number of teams in initial setup sheet, it just limit the number of team which can play and show those teams in the standing table.
Regards
Hi Karim,
You could read my explanation to Roon3y.

Hi Paul,
I am in progress on making short tutorial on creating this league spreadsheet. I will publish it in a few days. You can learn it and if you have problem you can leave me comments.
Regards
Hi Sam and Faldo,
To make it works for 4 teams, in initial setup worksheet, you can change the ‘data validation’ rule from menu or if you are looking the simple way, you can just copy a blank cell and paste it in cell B2, the cell where you have to put the number of teams to clear the data validation rule. After that you can put any number on that cell.
Regards
I would i change to the following points system:
Win=3
Score Draw=2
No Score Draw=1
By the way, excellent template
Mark
This spreadsheet is superb, I’ve used it for a couple of things, however, I have a major issue in terms of adding 2 extra teams, it’s fine with 20, but when I change the setting to 22 and add the 2 extra team names, I get #N/A in the team column and ### in all of the P/W/D/L columns, I’ve tried adding in 42 sets of fixtures but it does nothing with the data for the last 2 teams. Any Ideas/Similar Occurences.
I’m using Excel 2007 if that holds any relevance whatsoever, thanks in advance.
I would like to change the conditional formatting,i need to unprotect the League Table worksheet as it is password protected
Thanks.
Great site, I love the Create Your Own Soccer League Fixture & Table… I’m actually looking for 1, a fixture program where you can select the number of teams, put in team names and select the number of rounds or weeks to be played. 2, I run a fantasy cricket league and would love something similar to the Create Your Own Soccer League Fixture & Table… for cricket, there are 6 teams in our comp and we play 5 day matches and 1 day matches. I have made something pretty basic in excel to add up scores and work out points and a ladder, but it would be awesome to have like your soccer one.
Cheers
Bill
Dear Tony,
There is no password protection in this sheet. You just go to menu protection and click unprotect. That’s all.
Regards
Dear Mark, Scott and Bill,
I have just finished my tutorial on creating standing league table. You could read that tutorial to create your own or finding your mistakes on using this spreadsheet.

Hi Great table.
I admin a quiz league with 11 teams in each division.
All works fine except the teams that don’t have any points do not show in the league table and I need them to.
How do I get around this.
Many thanks and a great job.
Andy
You can get blank entries in the league table if the ranking formula returns > 20 in column B in the Settings sheet. This can happen when lower ranking teams have negative GD, or similar. To get round it, re-rank column B! In column A I put
=RANK(B4,OFFSET($C$4,0,-1,$D$4),1)
I used $D$4 to dynamically pick up the number of teams. Then change the formula in the League table sheet, column C to
=IF(B6″”,VLOOKUP(B6,Setting!A$4:AC$27,3,FALSE),”")
Nice spreadsheet BTW.

To get round the blank entries in the league table, alter as follows
Hi there … Excellent Template been searching for one like this for a long time ….
Is there any way to link the fixtures directly to the names given in the Initial Setup?
Because the first round and second round do not match (ex if first match in first round is juve vs Milan, 1st match in second round is not Milan vs Juve). And is there any way to make the league with one round on a neutral venue?
regards Ian
awesome! wish i could figure out how to use all the formulas.
is there any way to make the fixtures update
Nice work but cant you create it that way so you the teams name in “Fictures and results” changes to the ones you entered?
I’m having the same problem with the teams dropping out of the League Table when entering the results. Dave, I have re-ranked the ranking in column B in Settings to Column A using
=RANK(B4,OFFSET($C$4,0,-1,$D$4),1)
but if I then change the formula in column C in the leagues tabel sheet as you describe above I just get an error
Thank you so much. This saved me a lot of time.
Excellent work on this mate, very impressed.
Thanks for the help, I will use this for a long time to come.
Any chance of telling the password for the league table page. the sponsor at the top can stay, you deserve the credit for it, but I only need it to display the league standings, dont need all the home/away columns.
Thanks again
[...] I also completed my soccer standing table template with this fixture list creator function. So, if you need more complete excel standing table, you can download it here. [...]
@Ian Vella : You can download the template version with automatic fixtures generator now.
Cheers
@ Chasaa and Glen : Fixtures list generator is available now to suit your needs.

@ Bobby : There is no password in that spreadsheet. You can modify it to suit your needs.

Hi Dunno what all the fuss is about I did similar football tables back in the 1980’s using the old Microsoft Multiplan spreadsheet, seemed pretty easy to me at the time, certainly nothing difficult about it at all.
Hi,
Great template. I have a question. If a team loses by 20 points or less they gain 1 point. What is the formula for this and where do I copy it?
Thanks,
A brilliant excel sheet, just the job, well thought out, thanks.
i wanna make table.
Man … on v1.1 when i add my teams … fixtures show only the program for one team
In second i understand that you have to do manually fixtures … so ok.
Can you help me with v1.1 … why there apears fixtures only for first team :X
thanks a lot for the fixture list generator you have made, but actually when i change the no. of teams to be 10 for example, all the fixture list goes away and only fixture list for one team (always the 1st team) is shown only. do u have any suggession.
thanks again
Really awsome files, but a problem with the fixture list generator….
As soon as you change the number of teams in competition, team 1 is allocated a complete fixture list but the rest only play against that team.
Eg. If you switch the league to 10 teams then Inter Milan play all 9 of their games but the remaining teams only play Inter Milan.
Can this be resolved?
Hi Rosko, Khatab and Allan
May I know what Excel version do you use ? It looks normal from my Excel 2003 version. It could be the excel setting, but I am still looking for what cause that. If there are some people now how to solve the problem feel free to comments here. I will appreciate that.
Regards
I’m having the same problem with the fixtures creator v1.1. As soon as I change anything in the setup team one has a complete fixture but all of the other teams have only two games against the 1st team listed. I’m using Excel 2002.
Just updated to excel 2003 and i’m still having the same problem
Hi all,
Thank you for using my template, and I think I found what’s your problem on having just one team shown up. You should activate the analysis toolpak add-ins. Go to excel menu > tools > add-ins and tick the analysis toolpak.
And all the function will work as expected.
Regards
Gday Buddy,
I have last seasons Premier League excel program and was hoping to just put in all the fixtures and venues BUT when I go to do so it says it is password protected. What is the password please. It was great for last season and I am very disappointed that the FA have told you not to do one this season, why what is it doing to them? They do not do anything like it. Thumbs down for the English FA. But the password would make my days at the office much better lol.
You have my email address so I look forward to hearing from you.
Great spreadsheet. This saves me a lot of late nights.
I run a fantasy football league and have a workbook that you paste the weekly results (copied from the website) to the same location and using a cell to match the gameweek, this updates a league of historical info.
For next season, using your spreadsheet and to make it more interesting, I would like to set up a head to head league for the fantasy managers.
Via another additional worksheet that re-arrange my weekly pasted in data, I used Vlookup in the Fixture and Results to try and automate the score update. However, Excel does not match the cells for the name of the team using the formula in the cells but does when I copy over this formula with the actual cell value.
Do you know why this is?
Are you by any chance working on an automated score update of your own?
Hi can i condense this workbook into 1 sheet i need to save this as a template to use on my website
Hi Admin and Scott
Did you solve the problem on using 22 teams? everythings ok for 20 teams but when i put an extra 2 in there the fixture list does not update. Can anyone help please. This template could save hours of work!
I also found 2 good templates:
-League Table (soccer)
-Champions’ League Fixture
free-to download from http://www.spreadsheetzone.com

These are great spreadsheets, Thank you. I will be using the La Liga spreadsheet this season and I have modified a copy of it for the EPL and it works great.
I saw you did a Euro 2008 in the past and I was wondering if you have ever considered doing a UEFA Champions League & Europa League from the Group Stage forward? I think it would be swell.
Here hoping you do it.
hey mate how do i work the fixture list? It only shows one team when i put in all the teams…

Have been working through your formulas in order to work with 24 teams . . . have everything working except for the fact that the league table does not sort by rank. The rank is okay on the Setting sheet. Can you help?
How can I use this template to create schedules? We have 24 teams in our league. Our season is 10 weeks long and there is more or less an “A” league and “B” league. Each team only plays once a week for a total of 10 games. Can I use this template to also create the schedules for all the teams?
Just come across your site when was looking for something of the SPL (Scottish Premier League) will there be anything available for this?
Have just saved myself in the region of a weeks work developing my local 8-ball pool league for this year, by using your format.
More power to your arm - and very many thanks indeed!
Do you have on for rugby which could incorporate bonus points for scoring 4 tries as well as for loosing by 7 points or less? need one for league of 8 teams playing each other twice

Hi,
I am using your spreadsheet reguarly and really like it. I wonder if you might have any ideas of which excel function I could use to create a form table, i.e. a team that has WWWWW for thier last five games would be at the top compared with a team that has a WWWWL record etc. Any ideas how I might go about doing this, or can you help? I figured I should use the game week column and then for each team derive if it lost, won or drew. From there I can give it a score W=2, D=1 and L=0 and then added them add for the last five games to creat a ranking. The problem I have though is which Excel function to use to search within a game week for a team.

Great generator
Is it possible to move fixtures about
ie move a fixture from week one to week four etc
Thanks
I’ve been trying to get the performance graphs in the “League Table” tab however, I am not able to do so. Can you tell me how to.

Hi there, cracking speadsheet.

Hi,
I wonder if you could help me with a small issue?
Ive been using your template with great success over the last 2 months on a football project i help to run with the youth service. I found that it has helped the organisation of the night run sweet as a nut and we actually get to engage the youths instead of constantly working out the next round of matches so thank you.
with 13 teams playing most weeks i have a slight issue with keeping track of a fuller league i.e your full competion is 1 night of footy. is there a way of collating the scores over 4, 8, or even 10 nights?
Hello,
How do you change points for win to 4 and points for a draw to 2 on spreadsheet?
Dear
I’m waiting for the world cup 2010
I was expecting it to create a fixture after the teams are entered. That is where the difficulty is in creating your own league.
Am I wrong or do I have to calculate it and enter one by one?
hello,
i cant figure out how to increase the number of team.. sorry i am not good in excel, and cant find the logic inside as you mentioned above.. please help.. and yes its a great piece of work.
regards
Hello.
I am probably being stupid, but when I change the number of teams (I am trying to do a round robin with only 5 teams) the fixtures and results page only shows the fixtures for the first team and none of the other teams matches (eg Juventus v ac milan).
Am I doing something wrong?
Mike
Awesome job!!
Are you able to create a tournament spreadsheet?
In a champions league format?
Cheers

One new feature you may wish to include is from a potential situation in the English Premier League. It is possible that Portsmouth United will go out of business during the season. If this happens, all games that Portsmouth have played so far this season will be void. I assume that if that happens, just deleting Portsmouth will work. What I want though is a way of temporarily deleting Portsmouth to see what happens to the table. Of course I can just make a new copy and delete Portsmouth if that works but it would be nice to have a neater solution. But fortunately this does not happen often.
i need help getting on to making my football leauge set up. can you help me please
i give up. do you know how to get it up for me
do you know how to get it up.
Hi, well done on the chart in most respects.
Also though, you have infuriated a million people by the fact that until a team gets points they do not show up on the table at all.
Need to fix that.
