Your Sunday league runs itself.
Propose a few kick-off times. The squad votes, the match locks itself, the roster settles and the pitch cost splits — while the group chat stays quiet. And if someone drops out late, SquadLock can find you a replacement.

How it works
SquadLock in 60 seconds
Four steps from proposal to paid-up squad on the pitch — and if someone pulls out, one tap to replace them.
Step 1 · 10s
Propose the match
Pick 2–3 kick-off times, set the pitch, open voting to the squad.
Step 2 · 30s
The squad votes
Everyone taps the slots that work for them. No thread to chase, no replies to count.
Step 3 · 0s
It locks itself
The moment enough players are in, the match locks and the roster is final. You don't have to do anything.
Step 4 · 20s
Pay & play
The pitch cost splits across confirmed players. Turn up and play.
Three jobs you'll never do again
Every captain loses the same evening every week: chasing replies, working out who's actually playing, and collecting the pitch money. SquadLock does all three for you.
Commitment Voting
Propose two or three kick-off times. The squad votes, and the winning slot locks automatically the moment enough players are in.
The Roster, Settled
Confirmed, maybe, out, and who still hasn't replied — one screen, always current, instead of scrolling back through sixty messages.
Payment Splitting
The pitch cost splits itself across everyone who's playing, and you can see who's paid at a glance. Nobody chases a fiver again.
…and the things no other team app does
Panic Button
Someone drops out hours before kick-off? One tap pings players who can cover the position.
Ringer Marketplace
Short a player? Opted-in locals, filtered by position and a reliability score earned on real matches.
Tournaments
Brackets, free agents, and live scores — run a whole competition from your phone.
Squad Analytics
Reliability scores and availability patterns, so you know who to build the team around.

Frequently asked
Why not just use the group chat?+
Because the group chat can't count. SquadLock turns "who's about Thursday?" into a vote with a number attached: everyone taps the slots that work, and the match locks itself the moment enough players are in. You stop reading sixty messages to work out whether you have a team.
Is SquadLock really free?+
Yes — the app is free, for every player and every squad. Everything you need to run your team (voting, rosters, availability, payment splitting, ringers, tournaments) is included at no cost. The only paid thing is the optional Club plan, bought on the web by clubs running more than two teams.
I run a club with several teams. Is there something for me?+
Yes — SquadLock Club. Put every team under one club name and run them from one web dashboard: batch fixtures, one roster across teams, an availability matrix, cover from your other teams, captains, stats and pitch-fee tracking. It's free for up to 2 teams; the Club plan is £15/month or £150/year for the whole club, and players never pay. The first 10 clubs get 2 months free with code EARLYCLUB.
What happens when someone drops out?+
One tap. SquadLock alerts players who can cover the position — your own squad first, then opted-in players nearby, ranked by distance and a reliability score earned on real matches. You can also post the gap as an open slot and let it fill while you get on with your day.
Does it handle payments?+
SquadLock splits the pitch cost automatically across confirmed players. Payment is handled via your team's existing method (Monzo, Revolut, etc.) — we just do the maths.
Can I run tournaments?+
Yes. Create a tournament, set the format, open registration, and SquadLock picks the optimal bracket (round-robin, knockout, or groups). Teams and free agents can register, and scores update in real time.
Which formats are supported?+
5-a-side, 7-a-side, and 11-a-side — with squad sizes, quorum thresholds, and pitch templates tuned for each.
Next match, full squad.
Free on iOS and Android. Set your squad up in minutes, and let the app do the chasing from then on.
