Play on kickoffleague.comWhat is Kickoff League?
Kickoff League is a daily puzzle game that combines soccer with chess. Each day presents a fictional match, and your job is to recreate the goals that were scored by moving and kicking the ball with chess-piece-inspired players. The game tracks standings and stats across a monthly season.
How to play Kickoff League
Each puzzle shows a goal situation. You control the player currently holding the ball, moving them to any highlighted green circle, then kicking the ball to a highlighted teammate or into the net. You can move and kick as many times as you like, but you cannot move twice in a row; undo is always available. The four player types move and kick like chess pieces: Attacker (bishop), Midfielder (knight), Defender (rook), and Goalkeeper (king).
Tips & strategy
- Plan a sequence before moving, since you can't move twice in a row—alternate moves and kicks.
- Use the undo feature freely to experiment with different paths and kicks.
- Remember each player type moves differently; a knight's L-shape can reach spots a rook can't.
- Look for the net as the final target, and check which players are highlighted as valid kick receivers.
- Keep track of your move order to avoid getting stuck with no legal kick.
