The easiest way to track football standings

Keep your football league standings organized — whether it is flag football, tackle, youth, or fantasy. Simple Standings lets you track wins, losses, ties, points for, and points against. Just type it in, share the link, and everyone stays updated. It does more than the table, too: tick Schedule to add games with dates, times, and venues that visitors can filter by team, and Statistics to track touchdowns, yards, and receptions. Enable any combination — all three sit on the same shareable link.

How football standings work

Football standings are ranked on winning percentage, and because regular-season games can end tied, a tie counts as half a win and half a loss. A 3–1–1 record is (3 + 0.5) ÷ 5 = .700.

Points for (PF) and points against (PA) come next. With a short season — often eight to ten games — the tiebreakers decide more playoff spots than in almost any other sport.

Fantasy football leagues keep the same table with one twist: a common tiebreaker is total points scored across the season, because fantasy teams do not really play each other.

A worked example

Six teams, single round robin — five games each, one of the fifteen tied:

TeamWLTPCTPFPADIFF
Wolves410.80014880+68
Rams311.70013195+36
Bulldogs320.600120102+18
Hornets221.50099104−5
Titans230.40092118−26
Pirates050.00061152−91

Rams and Bulldogs have the same three wins. Rams’ tie is worth half a win, which is the .100 between them.

Rams and Hornets played the tied game, which is why each has a T. Ties always come in pairs.

Common football tiebreakers

When teams finish level, these are applied in order until the tie is broken:

  1. Head-to-head result.
  2. Division record, where the league has divisions.
  3. Record against common opponents.
  4. Point differential, often capped per game in youth football.
  5. Points allowed, then a coin toss.

How football seasons are scheduled

  • One game a week for every team, so the regular season is short and every game counts.
  • Divisions or conferences, with most games inside the division and a few crossover games.
  • Playoffs for the top teams, seeded by record and tiebreakers. Ties are not allowed in playoff games.
  • Youth leagues often split by age and weight, with separate standings for each.

Setting up football standings in Simple Standings

Pick Football when you create a league and the standings start from the Simple preset — W, L, and T — or from Advanced: W, L, T, PCT, PF, PA, and DIFF, with PCT worked out as (W + T ÷ 2) ÷ (W + L + T) and DIFF worked out as PF − PA. New football leagues sort by W. Every column can be renamed, removed, or added to. A computed column can read every typed-in column, plus any computed column to its left.

Advanced computes PCT as (W + T ÷ 2) ÷ (W + L + T), counting a tie as half a win, and adds a computed DIFF. Typing a result into W, L or T moves PCT immediately.

Box scores come set up for four quarters, and the statistics table starts with touchdowns, yards and receptions. For a fantasy league, add a PF column and sort ties by it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create football standings?
Sign up for a free account, click "Create new", choose your columns (wins, losses, points, etc.), add your teams, and type in the data. No spreadsheets or imports needed.
Can I share my football standings with others?
Yes. Every standings you create gets a unique shareable link. Anyone with the link can view the standings — no account required.
Can I make a football schedule too?
Yes. Check Schedule when creating and add games with dates, times, venues, and scores. Visitors can filter the schedule by team or venue, so each team sees only their own games.
Can I track football stats?
Yes. Check Statistics when creating and you get a stats table with the columns already prefilled for football — touchdowns, yards, and receptions. Add computed columns for anything you work out with a formula, and sort by whichever column matters.
Is Simple Standings free for football leagues?
Free — standings, schedule, and statistics with no team limits, no game caps, and a public share link included. Public pages carry ads, which is what pays for it; a one-time $9.99 USD removes them from a league, with no subscription and no renewal.
Do football scores automatically update the standings?
Only if you want them to. Typing the table in yourself is the default, and it is what most leagues stick with — no syncing, no broken formulas. You can also enter one game at a time and let it do the arithmetic, report a score and have the standings update themselves, or keep a full box score for each game that updates the standings and every player's totals at once.
