About Us

Who we are

Playfinder is the UK’s leading search and booking platform for recreational sports.

Our mission is making it easier for everyone to play sport, and increasing the utilisation of facilities as a result.

We are proud to welcome the early risers, last-minuters, part-timers, full-timers, first-timers and old-timers to the Playfinder sporting community.

We know the urban work-life balance isn’t always easy to juggle and our service takes the hassle away from finding places to play. Sport plays a pivotal role in bringing people together, sharing moments, and enhancing well-being.

Those reasons form the very essence of Playfinder.

Think of us as the largest digital sports club in the world where everyone is welcome, an on-demand service that allows you to book anywhere for no extra cost.

Find your play. Go from thought to sport. A few taps and swipes on our app transports people to sports facilities where they can bang in a goal or swipe at a shuttlecock amongst friends.

We make playing sport simple across the UK. Have you made your Playfinder debut?
