Live football alerts for 13,000+ teams, updated every 20 seconds during matches, in a private chat, a group or a channel, plus a mini app with statistics and a friendly score-prediction game. Free for 5 teams and 1 league; Premium in Telegram Stars. Eight interface languages.
Football Live Goals is the most complete football bot in this list, and its site, footylive.org, documents it in detail. You follow teams or whole competitions, from the Premier League and the Champions League to MLS, Brazil's Série A and Argentina's Primera, and the bot sends goals, cards, substitutions and full time as messages. Match data is refreshed every 20 seconds, and notifications usually arrive 20 to 40 seconds after the event. You choose which events trigger an alert.
It works in three places. In a private chat it is your own score service. In a group it turns the chat into a match thread, with a score-prediction game and weekly leaderboards; the predictions are for points among friends, not bets. In a channel it posts results and match cards on its own. A built-in mini app shows lineups, possession, shots and a minute-by-minute timeline, and after the match the bot shares official highlights via ScoreBat where available. It does not stream matches.
Personal use is free for 5 teams and 1 league with unlimited notifications; Personal Premium raises that to 100 teams, and group plans start at 50 Telegram Stars a month. The interface detects your language among English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Arabic, Turkish and Russian. Telegram shows about 23,600 monthly users. The bot's description lists a contact for advertising and partners.
