I don’t have any socials like Instagram or Facebook or Twitter to keep up with the top teams and the top leagues.
Are there any good RSS feeds to keep up with football? How about apps that aren’t super invasive that are similar to OneFootball?
ESPN RSS feed is good enough for me. If you want more check this https://rss.feedspot.com/soccer_rss_feeds/
The athletic, which is owned by the new York times, is pretty good. It isn’t free though.
You could try podcasts, but that’s mostly for after the games. If it’s just to keep up with scores, there should be plenty of apps available. I’ve been using Sofascore.
I use Inoreader to subscribe to a bunch of quality feeds. It works with the usual RSS feeds and also YouTube (it automatically syncs in your subscriptions there), Reddit, and Telegram. I have filters set up on feeds that publish a lot of general football content so that I get just the stuff I’m interested in. E.g. the TalkSPORT YouTube channel I have a filter set so that I only get the Spurs and Brighton related videos.
The only football app I use is Sofascore. Also use the website a lot along with FBref and WhoScored. I find Soccercatch.com best place to find highlights.
The main RSS feeds I subscribe to are:
- The Athletic (Tottenham Hotspur and Premier League) (Inoreader has a button that loads the whole content of the article)
- The Guardian (Spurs and Jonathan Wilson)
- The Telegraph (Football)
- BBC Sport (Spurs)

Pretty much all I use, and chat to a couple of friends a little.
I’ve been using and have donated to Fotmob to keep up with scores and leagues, been using it since about 2014 and love it.
For scores I use Forza app on android, also I read articles and news from the athletic mainly and other websites like sky news etc Last thing on my list is news paper.
