Booking
How do I book?

How do I pay?
In the app, by card, credit or both.
Can I book for my mates?

Refunds
What if I can't make it?
Cancellation and refund rules are on our Refunds and Cancellations page.
Can I get a refund?
For pay-to-play bookings, cancel more than 24 hours before kick-off and you get a full refund as credit, not cash. Cancel within 24 hours and there's no refund. Flex Regular and Plus members pay the game's price as a deposit when they book; Flex Unlimited members pay no deposit. The deposit is refunded to the card you paid with when you play, or when you cancel more than 24 hours before kick-off. Deposits for late cancellations and no-shows aren't refunded.
Playing
What do I need to bring?
Bring your boots. Balls, bibs and keeper gloves are provided at every game.
How many players are in a team?
We host a variety of formats, but it's mostly 5-a-side. Keep an eye on the total spots listed on each match, or use the filters to pick your preferred format.
What if a game is full?
Join the waitlist. If a spot opens up, you could get it.
Flex membership
What is Flex membership?
Flex is a monthly membership for people who play regularly. Flex Regular includes 4 games a month, Flex Plus includes 10, and Flex Unlimited has no monthly limit. Your allowance resets each month.
How much does Flex cost?
Flex Regular is £30 a month, Flex Plus is £72 and Flex Unlimited is £99.
Does Flex cover every game?
Yes. Your included games cover any game, in any format (5-a-side, 6-a-side or 7-a-side) and at any price. Flex Regular and Plus members pay the game's price as a deposit when they book, and it's refunded to the card you paid with when you play, or when you cancel more than 24 hours before kick-off. Flex Unlimited members pay no deposit.
For organisers
How does hosting a regular game work?
PlayFives books and pays for the pitch and owns the booking, so you don't pay anything upfront. You fill the game with your group, and everyone pays through the app. If you can't fill every spot, we can sell the spare spots to other players.
Does it cost me anything?
No. PlayFives covers the pitch cost, and everyone playing pays through the app, so you never chase anyone for money.
How do I get started?
Press "Chat to us" or email support@playfives.com. We set up each game by hand, and it can be up and running within a week.
