Flashscore has launched a weekly email newsletter titled Football Weekender, designed to curate top European fixtures, statistical context, and overlooked matches for weekend fans, according to the platform’s editorial team. Each weekend of football brings hundreds of matches and countless stories, offering a weekly dose of news as a weekend packed with action approaches, including predictions for the games that promise to be the most followed or the most exciting.
Newsletter Delivered Friday Afternoons, Five-Minute Read
The free newsletter arrives in subscribers’ inboxes every Friday afternoon before the weekend’s opening kickoff. Editorial staff designed the guide to be read in roughly five minutes, cutting through the volume of hundreds of weekly fixtures to highlight essential matches. Readers can sign up by providing an email address on the Flashscore platform, with the option to cancel the subscription at any time. Subscribers can sign up by clicking a link, entering their email address, confirming the subscription, and waiting for Friday, with the first edition arriving on a Friday afternoon.
Four Games and Competition Highlights Detailed
Each edition opens with “The weekend in four games,” providing a rapid, single-sentence summary and kickoff time for priority fixtures. For major European competitions, editors select a headline match of the week, detailing team form, head-to-head records, and key players. This section includes proprietary insights such as active streaks nearing completion or historical records within reach. Alongside the main game, the newsletter outlines remaining fixtures in the division with kickoff times, outcome probabilities, and a defining narrative sentence.
Coverage Extension Into Lesser-Known European Leagues
A dedicated section titled “Don’t miss” shifts focus to intriguing fixtures outside Europe’s top-tier leagues. The editorial team selects matches from competitions in Scotland, the Netherlands, and Belgium to ensure fans catch competitive clashes that might otherwise escape mainstream attention. The structured format aims to provide readers with a single hub for summaries, statistical background, and curated viewing recommendations ahead of the weekend schedule, allowing fans to quickly catch up on everything in five minutes instead of sorting through hundreds of matches.
