Leagues & competitions #

A league (or competition) groups the matches that belong to the same tournament, such as a domestic league, a cup, or a one-off friendly series. Once a competition exists, you can list the teams that take part and link your matches to it, so related fixtures sit together and fans can filter by competition.

Add your teams first. A competition is built from the teams that take part, so having them ready makes setup quick.

Adding a competition #

  1. Open Leagues and create a new one

    From the dashboard, go to Leagues and select Create new league.

  2. Add the details

    Enter the competition name and upload its logo. A square image works best.

  3. Add the teams

    List the teams taking part by adding each one to the competition. A team can belong to several competitions at once, for example a league and a cup.

  4. Save

    Save, and the competition is ready to link to matches.

Linking a match to its teams and competition #

When you create a match, you choose the teams playing and the competition it belongs to. This is what powers the match-up display, the crests, and the filtering fans use to find your content.

  1. Create or open the match

    Start a new stream, or open an existing one, and go to its details.

  2. Pick the teams

    Choose your team and the opponent. The match-up appears just as fans will see it.

  3. Pick the competition

    Select the competition the match belongs to. You can link more than one if it applies.

  4. Save

    Save the match. It now appears under the right teams and competition for fans.

What this means for fans #

  • Fans can filter and browse your content by competition.
  • Related matches sit together, so a fan watching one cup tie can easily find the rest.
  • Clear, consistent competition names and logos keep your channel looking professional.
