About
We’re aiming to create the largest online collection of matchday photos.
Every week across loads of sports, thousands of matchdays happen up and down the the country - from grassroots pitches to non-league grounds. We want to help bring sporting moments from these matches online and into one place.
Launched in April 2026, the platform is starting small but we look forward to growing and improving. Whether you’re a photographer looking for a home for your best shots, a club wanting your matches properly documented, or a fan who simply loves reliving the moments, we hope matchdayphotos.co.uk is the right place for you.
We’re committed to growing our platform and community in the right way. Read our policies on data and album guidelines…
