SportsPress – Sports Club & League Manager

80 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With 10,000 active installs it sits in a narrow niche, far below general-purpose event plugins like The Events Calendar, so its community and third-party resources are comparatively small.

Update Freshness

25/25

An update on July 12, 2026 shows the developer is actively shipping releases, which is a strong maintenance signal.

User Rating

14/15

A 94/100 rating from 369 reviewers indicates very high satisfaction among the users who have tried it.

Support Health

8/15

Only 4 support threads with a 75% resolution rate is too small a sample to draw firm conclusions, but the resolution ratio is reasonable.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested with WordPress 7.0.1 and requiring only WordPress 3.8, it has excellent backward and forward compatibility.

What It Does

SportsPress turns a WordPress site into a functioning sports league or club hub, letting you register teams, players, and staff; schedule events and fixtures; track match results and standings; and display stats via shortcodes and custom templates. The core plugin is free and extensible through paid add-ons for features like tournaments, brackets, and WooCommerce ticket sales.

Who It's For

This plugin is built for amateur and semi-professional sports clubs, leagues, schools, and tournament organizers who want a single WordPress-based system to publish fixtures, results, and player statistics without custom development. It is most useful for site owners running multiple teams across a recurring season rather than one-off events.

Who Should Skip It

If you only need a basic event calendar, RSVP form, or ticketing system for a single venue, SportsPress is overkill and you would be better served by The Events Calendar or Event Organiser. Sites without an ongoing league or roster to manage will not benefit from its team, player, and competition data model.

The Bottom Line

SportsPress delivers a focused, well-maintained solution for sports clubs that need roster, fixture, and standings management, earning a 79.51/100 overall score and a 94/100 user rating. Its niche install base and limited public support footprint mean larger organizations should validate long-term vendor stability, but for amateur and semi-pro clubs it is a solid choice. Avoid it if your needs are limited to basic event listings or ticketing.
