Second Monitor Football

Second Monitor Football is a lightweight football simulation built to run alongside other activities, such as on a second screen. Matches play out automatically with no input required, or players can take control of one member of a team. The game uses physics to determine outcomes, so players and the ball move and collide dynamically, and goals are not scripted.

Players who take part in a match can steer a team member and use power-ups. These include freezing the opposition, knocking out the opposing keeper and shielding their own goal. Power-ups are earned through play, and AI coaches use their own against the player. Players can follow a chosen team through a full season or watch only that team’s matches. Competitions include knockout-style tournaments, as well as club and international competitions across multiple tiers.

Multiplayer supports up to 4 players on the same side in full competitions, and up to 8 players in casual matches with 4 per team. Twitch streamers can invite viewers into competitions and casual matches. This requires logging in to Twitch through the default web browser. The game requests only an authorisation token, uses chat and follower features to invite players to the lobby, and does not store Twitch account information. Built-in modding support allows players to create custom leagues, rename teams and add logos.
