Update: Grassroute is now open to grassroots clubs right across the UK, with the same features everywhere — discovery, messaging, arranging friendlies, and listing or entering tournaments. This article originally announced a South West beta; there is no longer any regional restriction or waitlist.
Grassroute is live and free for every grassroots club in the UK. If you’re involved in grassroots football — as a coach, volunteer, club admin, or just someone who keeps things running on a weekend morning — this is for you.
What is Grassroute?
Grassroute is a free platform that helps grassroots football clubs find each other, connect, and grow. No subscriptions. No hidden fees. Just a simple way to put your club on the map and discover what’s happening around you.
You can:
- List your club with a full profile — teams, venues, age groups, kit colours, the lot
- Find other clubs nearby using our Discovery Hub and interactive map
- Browse tournaments and register your interest directly through the platform
- Propose friendlies to teams looking for opposition — and see how competitive a fixture looks with Grassroute MatchFit before you commit
- Message clubs without needing to track down an email address or phone number
Every club gets a public profile page that’s searchable and shareable. Think of it as your club’s home on the internet — without having to build a website.
Open across the UK
Grassroute is open to grassroots clubs anywhere in the UK, with the same features everywhere. It’s new and growing, so some areas have more clubs on it than others — but every club that joins helps Grassroute work better for the next club in their area. If something doesn’t work for you, we want to hear about it. If there’s a feature you need, tell us. This is your platform.
How to get started
It takes two minutes:
- Head to grassroute.co.uk/register
- Create your free account
- Set up your club profile, or claim an existing one
- Start discovering clubs, tournaments and match opportunities near you
That’s it. No setup fees, no annual charges, no catch. Grassroute is free for grassroots clubs and always will be.
