Which channel is the match on, how live-score apps compare and how to follow live results: dated, sourced football guides.
FotMob, Sofascore and Flashscore are three of the best-known live-score names among English-speaking fans. If you want an alternative, our pick is Rotascore: a football-only app that puts everything about a match on one screen, and tells you which channel it is on.
Following football live is easy once the settings are right. This guide walks through the web live list, favourites, alerts, iPhone Live Activities, widgets and what to do when Android notifications arrive late, with the TV channel check at the end.
