What's new

Everything that changes at PitchLab, newest first: the tips, the goal stats, the facts, the podcast, Telegram and the website. What is planned stands at the top.

Planned

  • Coming soon Facts and clips Every Saturday a short video: the week at PitchLab in under half a minute, on YouTube and Instagram.
  • Coming soon Goal stats Goal stats pick from even more leagues: Portugal, Belgium, Greece, Norway, Czechia, Ukraine and Brazil join.
  • Coming soon Facts and clips The Premium liiga season race as a clip, the day after its last round.
  • Planned for 13 Nov 2026 Podcast and newsletter A third host joins the Weekend Numbers podcast: Tobi, the fan who brings the claims, with Higher or lower, Record watch and a Who am I? riddle answered at the end.
  • Planned for 1 Feb 2027 Tests and results First look at the card test in four big leagues, with a strict bar: a pass would bring card calls to more of the big leagues.

Done

6 Nov 2026

  • Goal stats Goal stats pick from more leagues, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, MLS and Argentina among them.

5 Nov 2026

  • Website A What's new page lists every change at PitchLab by its date, and what comes next.
  • Match integrity Our integrity check now leaves a league out only for systemic match-fixing (many referees or several clubs charged); a single game, player or club case is noted, not a reason to drop a whole league.
  • Tests and results A new card model was tested in 20 leagues on seasons it had never seen. It goes live only where it passes every check; in most leagues it did not, so nothing changes there.
  • Tests and results A new card test starts in four big leagues, on coming matches only. Nothing is published until it passes.
  • Facts and clips Fact images now come in a light look too, mixed in with the dark one.

4 Nov 2026

  • Website My PitchLab opens, free: follow up to 10 clubs and see each one's next match, form and table place.
  • Facts and clips A full-time numbers card after the big game of the night.
  • Tests and results The goal model was tested on Champions League and Europa League seasons it had never seen. It did not pass, so there are no goal calls on European nights.
  • Facts and clips Iraq and DR Congo join the fact bank.
