Kick-off, tip-off, first pitch. ⚽ Enter the date and time of the fixture and the counter will tick down to it in everyone's own time zone.
That last part matters more than it sounds. A 3pm kick-off in London is 10am in New York and 11pm in Sydney, and a shared link saves three people doing the same sum.
- A football match is 90 minutes plus stoppage, split into two halves of 45.
- Set the target time to kick-off, not to midnight, or the number will be wrong by most of a day.
- Embed it on a club page and it keeps running for every visitor. 🏟️
