Fight Night: the free football fighting game

Twelve football fighters, specials and a signature super each, best-of-three rounds. Free in your browser on phone or PC.

Short answer

Fight Night is BALLKNW's free football fighting game. Pick one of 12 cartoon football fighters, each with four specials and a signature super, then beat all eleven CPU opponents in Arcade or fight a mate on one keyboard or two controllers. It runs in the browser, with touch controls on phones.

Player 2 uses the arrow keys with comma (light), full stop (heavy), slash (block), semicolon (special) and quote (super). On a phone, the Arcade Pad puts a stick on the left and the buttons on the right, outside the game screen. Simple mode cuts it to Attack, Special and Jump.

The 12 fighters

FighterStyleWhat they do
Va-Va-VoomSpeed / AcrobatFlips, rolls and dives from the sky. The fastest walk in the game.
Wor AlPower / DictatorA spinning torpedo across the pitch, scissor kicks and a head stomp from above.
KeanoDefensive / SoldierThrows red cards from range and flips anyone who jumps in.
Egyptian KingAgile / KickerA blur of kicks, an upside-down spin and a slow curling shot.
Baby OilWild / RushdownRolls across the pitch like a cannonball and crackles with electricity up close.
King DidiPower / ZonerHigh and low shots, a rising uppercut and a flying knee. Huge reach.
Captain FantasticAll-RounderThe complete fighter: a fireball, an invincible uppercut and a spinning kick.
Le RoiLong Range / MysticBreathes fire, kicks from across the pitch, floats over trouble and vanishes.
VinnyTank / SumoA hundred slaps a second, a flying headbutt and the biggest health bar in the game.
HurricaneGrapplerGet close and he picks you up and drives you into the turf. An unblockable throw.
WazzaPower / BoxerBoxing gloves and no kicks. Charging straights, uppercuts and a turnaround haymaker.
SonnySpeed / RivalA fireball, a flaming uppercut and a roll straight through attacks.

Tips for beating Arcade

  • Learn one fighter first. Captain Fantastic is the all-rounder, with a fireball, an invincible uppercut and a spinning kick.
  • Use the Special button. U on its own, or with forward, back or down, gives you all four specials without the stick motions.
  • Block, then punish. Holding away blocks; strike as soon as their attack ends.
  • Save the super. Fire it when the gold meter is full and your opponent is committed to an attack.
  • Mix high and low. Crouch with light or heavy for a low strike that catches standing blocks.

Common questions

Is Fight Night free?

Yes. It is free in the browser with nothing to download.

Can two people play on one computer?

Yes. Player 1 uses the letter keys and player 2 the arrow keys, or plug in two controllers.

Can I challenge a mate who is not with me?

Yes. After an Arcade fight, press Challenge a mate to send a link with how many of the 11 opponents you beat. Their menu shows your score, and their result screen says when they pass it.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Turn the phone sideways for the best view; the on-screen pad works in portrait or landscape.

Are the fighters real footballers?

No. They are cartoon characters with football nicknames, not official likenesses.
