FixtureList is a long-running free tool for generating round-robin fixture lists and league tables, but saving or sharing a league means creating an account, and there is no knockout bracket, Swiss pairing, or PDF export. Fixture.cc covers every major format, gives you a shareable public page and QR code the moment you create it, and adds free PDF export - all without ever needing an account.
Quick verdict
FixtureList has been a simple way to generate round-robin fixture lists and track league tables for years, but it only covers round-robin scheduling and asks you to register an account before you can save or share a league. Fixture.cc covers round-robin, knockout brackets, Swiss pairings, and group stage + knockout, and gives every competition a shareable public page, QR code, and free PDF export instantly - no account required at any point.

Why switch
FixtureList lets you generate a one-off fixture list without an account, but saving a league or sharing it with your teams requires registering. Fixture.cc gives you a private access code the moment you create a competition - share the public link straight away, no sign-up at any step.
FixtureList generates round-robin schedules only, once-only or home-and-away. Fixture.cc adds single and double elimination brackets, Swiss pairings, and a group stage followed by a knockout round in the same competition.
FixtureList's public pages are a link you send manually. Fixture.cc adds an embeddable iframe widget for club or school websites and a QR code on every competition, so people can scan their way straight to the live standings.
FixtureList does not offer a PDF export option. Fixture.cc exports your fixtures and standings as a print-ready PDF in A4, A3, or Letter format, with a QR code back to the live page - useful for noticeboards and referee packs.
On FixtureList, adding teams is a manual admin task. Fixture.cc can publish a public registration form on your competition page, with custom fields and email confirmations, so teams sign themselves up directly.
No account, ever. Round-robin, brackets, and Swiss format. A live shareable competition page in 60 seconds.
