Match Day templates
Football matchday graphic templates — free & animated
SportGraphics has three animated football matchday graphic templates — Spotlight (free), Retro Print, and Next Up. Each announces your fixture in your club's colours with the crest, opponent, kickoff time and venue filled in for you, and exports as a 1080×1080 image or animated MP4 video in under a minute.
The fixture post is the one graphic every club needs
The matchday announcement is the highest-leverage post of the week: it tells fans, parents, and players when and where to show up, and it sets the visual tone for everything that follows. Clubs that skip it look dormant; clubs that post a polished one look like they have a media team.
These templates carry the details a fixture post actually needs — both clubs, kickoff time, venue or competition — laid out by a designer so you never start from a blank canvas. Post the day before, the morning of, or both.
Set up once, announce every fixture in 60 seconds
Save your club's crest, colours, and roster once. From then on, any matchday template fills itself with your branding — you type the opponent and kickoff, pick Spotlight, Retro Print, or Next Up, and export. The Spotlight design is on the free plan (watermarked, no credit card); Basic ($9/mo) removes the watermark, unlocks all three, and adds the animated MP4 version.
Every template fills itself from your club setup and exports both feed and story sizes — see the full animated design gallery or compare plans and pricing.
Match Day graphics, answered
Post 1:1 square (1080×1080) to the feed on Instagram, Facebook, and X, and 9:16 vertical (1080×1920) to stories and reels. Every SportGraphics matchday template exports both sizes, so you don't have to rebuild the graphic per platform.
At minimum: both club names or crests, the date and kickoff time, and the venue or competition. The best ones also carry consistent club colours so fans recognise the post before they read it. SportGraphics templates place all of these for you.
Yes — the Spotlight matchday template is on the SportGraphics free plan: make a real fixture announcement in your club's colours at no cost, with no credit card (exports carry a small watermark). Basic ($9/mo) removes the watermark and unlocks Retro Print and Next Up.
Every SportGraphics matchday template has a built-in animated version that exports as a ready-to-post MP4 — no After Effects, plugins, or timeline. Animated export is included on paid plans from $9/mo.
