Email alerts
How do email alerts work?

Opt in and we'll email you — spoiler-free — when a new highlight is up. Follow a team for an instant heads-up the moment its highlight posts, or follow a competition for one daily round-up. There's never a score in the email.

How do I manage or stop my email alerts?

Two ways, both no-login:

  1. Every alert email has Manage your alerts and Unsubscribe links at the bottom — the quickest route.
  2. Lost the email or on a new device? Open the Manage alerts page, enter your email, and we'll send you a fresh link.

From there you can change which teams and competitions you follow, or unsubscribe completely — no password required.

The basics
What is True Highlights?

A spoiler-free way to watch soccer highlights. We list matches with no scores, no thumbnails, no video titles, and no comments — so you can pick a game and watch the highlights without anything giving the result away first.

How do you keep it spoiler-free?

The match list shows only the teams and competition — never a score, thumbnail, or title. In the player we hide YouTube's title bar, don't show its comments or related videos, and stop the clip a few seconds before YouTube's end-screen (which often previews other results). You stay in control — nothing reveals a score unless you go looking for it.

Are these full matches? Where do they come from?

They're official highlight videos, embedded straight from the leagues' and broadcasters' YouTube channels — we don't host or re-upload anything, so views and ads still go to the creators. True Highlights is independent and not affiliated with the leagues or YouTube; we just present their highlights spoiler-free.

Why is a match "Finding…" or not available yet?

Highlights usually post within a day or two of a match. Until the official video is up — and confirmed playable in your country — the match sits as "Finding…". It flips to watchable automatically once the video lands, so there's nothing you need to do.

Why does the video stop a little before the end?

YouTube's end-screen shows thumbnails of other videos — often with scores right in the titles. We stop just before it to keep you spoiler-free. If you want the last few seconds, just tap play again.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It's completely free and needs no account. Your favorite teams are saved on your own device. The only thing that ever asks for an email is opt-in alerts — covered above.
