You’re excited for Saturday’s Match of the Day; however, your wife has other plans for you.

2. Live Score Addicts (Free – for Android & iPhone)

This app tracks 400 leagues and you can set up your own personalized push notifications so receive word of a match’s kick off as soon as the players hit the field and a goal as soon as one is scored.

3. iFooty World Plus ($2.99 – for iPhone)

If you’re truly a world football or soccer fan, then the iFooty World Plus app has it all covered—literally! This app covers the action of various football leagues worldwide. From Asia’s J.

4. The Football App (Free – for Android & iPhone)

Just like the name suggests, the Football App is one of most comprehensive, jam-packed football/soccer apps for fans.

5. Sky Sports Live Football Score Centre (Free – for Android & iPhone)

If you’re like me: the type of football or soccer fan that prefers the coverage of the game from a commentator rather than text alerts on my Samsung Galaxy S3 from TMobile, Sky Sports Live Football SC will be your new favorite app. This app delivers the goods via live commentary from the Sky Sports News Radio team—including all the match action, plus team news and player developments. Also, check out the handy “My Scores” tool that lets users pick the exact matches and teams they want to follow.
