Our story
A bracket maker we actually wanted to use.
MatchBerry is a free tournament and cup builder for football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, padel, hockey, athletics and more — built for teams, sports clubs and schools that just want the fixtures to work.
How it started
MatchBerry started where most useful software starts: a weekend that nearly went sideways. A friend was running a small five-a-side cup with a colour-coded spreadsheet, a notebook full of scores, and a WhatsApp group on fire. By the semi-finals, three teams were arguing about goal difference and nobody was sure who was supposed to be on which pitch.
We wanted a tool that could create a tournament in under a minute, generate a shareable bracket the moment it was made, and update standings live as scores came in. We couldn't find one we liked, so we built it.
What MatchBerry does
You pick a sport and a format — knockout, round robin, group stage with playoffs, or a one-off friendly between two teams — and MatchBerry generates the fixtures, the bracket, and the standings. Every tournament gets a public page you can share with players, parents and referees. Update the score on your phone, and everyone watching sees it instantly.
Football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, padel, hockey, athletics — single elim, double elim, round robin or groups + knockout.
From a Saturday five-a-side to a season-long school league. Teams, players, fixtures and results in one place.
