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:

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