Step-by-Step: How to Create a Match Cancellation Graphic

If a match gets called off at short notice, the information needs to be communicated quickly and clearly.
With Spieltag.Studio, you can create a match cancellation graphic in just a few seconds — based on your existing Matchday design.

1. Open the Cancellation Section

After logging in, you’ll find the menu item “Create” on the left side of your dashboard.
Select:

👉 Match Cancellation

This opens the cancellation editor.

2. Select the Matchday

A cancellation graphic is always based on an existing Matchday graphic.

The editor automatically imports:

  • Opponent
  • Competition
  • Date & time
  • Location
  • Colors & layout of your Matchday post

 

The cancellation is placed on top of your graphic as an overlay banner.

ℹ️ Note:
A cancellation can only be created if a Matchday post already exists.

3. Choose banner color & text color

The cancellation consists of an overlay banner placed over your Matchday layout.
You can adjust:

  • Banner color
  • Text color

 

This ensures the message stays readable — no matter the background.

4. Add an optional additional text

Directly beneath the word “Cancelled” inside the banner, you can add a short additional note, such as:

  • “Pitch closed”
  • “Cancelled due to weather”
  • “Opponent did not show up”
  • “Pitch unplayable”

 

The text is placed in the correct position automatically.

5. Generate the graphic

To finalize your post, click:

👉 Generate Graphic

Spieltag.Studio automatically exports your cancellation graphic in perfect social media quality:

  • PNG
  • 1080×1080 or
  • 1080×1350

 

💡 Tip:
Post the cancellation as early as possible so your fans stay informed.
