FAQ

What is football darts?

Football darts, also called Football 501, is a free online game that turns a game of darts into a football trivia contest. Instead of throwing darts you name footballers, and each player is worth their real career stat (goals, appearances, assists or clean sheets). That number is subtracted from your score as you race down from 501 to zero.

How do you play Football 501?

Both players start on 501 and take turns naming footballers for the competition and filters you chose. Each name subtracts that player's real career stat from your total. Just like darts, the aim is to be first to check out by landing exactly between 0 and -10. Name a player worth more than 180, hit an impossible darts checkout, go below -10, or repeat a name and you bust for that turn.

Is Football 501 free to play?

Yes. The daily challenge is free for everyone with no account needed, and you can play it right now. A free account adds custom games, streaks, the solo and weekly leaderboards, and unlimited play.

What does checkout and bust mean?

Checkout means finishing: landing your score exactly between 0 and -10, first player to do it wins. Bust means an illegal move that ends your turn with no change - naming a player worth over 180 (no single dart beats 180), an impossible darts finish (163, 166, 169, 172, 173, 175, 176, 178, 179), a score below -10, or a player you've already used.

Which competitions and stats can I use?

You can build the player pool from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, the Champions League and more, then filter by club, nationality or position. Choose your scoring metric from appearances, goals, assists or clean sheets. Coverage is strongest for recent seasons and major competitions.

Can I play football darts with friends?

Yes. Play two-player pass-and-play on a single phone, compare scores on the daily challenge, or climb the solo and weekly leaderboards. Everyone gets the same daily challenge, so you can all try the same puzzle and share your checkout.
