MATCHSIM is a soccer match simulator for iOS that is free to download (ads and optional MATCHSIM PRO). With ~150 clubs from 8 leagues, 54 national teams, Quick Match, League Mode, tournaments, and Manager tools, you can simulate who wins.

1. Getting Started

After downloading MATCHSIM from the App Store, open Quick Match, League, Tournament, or Manager tools from the main menu. Most features work offline; ads, subscription validation, and data updates need internet.

Available Leagues (~150 clubs)

  • Premier League (England): 20 teams
  • La Liga (Spain): 20 teams
  • Serie A (Italy): 20 teams
  • Ligue 1 (France): 18 teams
  • Bundesliga (Germany): 18 teams
  • Eredivisie (Netherlands): 18 teams
  • Liga Portugal (Portugal): 18 teams
  • Super Lig (Turkey): 18 teams

Also included: 54 national teams and UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League templates.

2. Quick Match and Live Simulation

Pick two teams and simulate instantly. Live Match mode shows events minute by minute β€” not 90 minutes of wall-clock real time. Follow goals, cards, and key moments at sim pace.

3. League Mode

Play a full season week by week. Track fixtures, climb the table, and crown a champion. League Mode is one of the headline experiences in v2.3.2.

4. Tournament Formats

Choose single-leg knockout, two-leg, or league format.

  • 4 and 8 teams: free tier
  • 16 and 32 teams: MATCHSIM PRO
  • UEFA templates: Champions League, Europa League, Conference League

5. Manager Mode (ATK / DEF)

Manager mode is available now. Before a match or tournament, boost or cut attack (ATK) and defense (DEF). Favor your side or rebalance the matchup β€” not a future promise.

6. Statistics

After each match, review shots, fouls, possession, and the timeline. Re-run the same fixture to see how outcomes change.

Why MATCHSIM Stands Out

Eight leagues, national teams, League and Manager modes, flexible tournaments, and minute-by-minute live soccer simulation in one app. Free to download, ads and PRO option; most features work offline.
