The Lineup Is vs Fixtured
Fixtured is a sports calendar app for iOS and Android. It tracks fixtures across more than 600 leagues, builds a watchlist, syncs to your calendar, supports Live Activities and widgets, and has a No Spoilers mode for watching later. For selected competitions in the US, UK and France it also shows which broadcaster has the game. It is free with a paid tier.
A calendar answers “what is on and when.” It does not answer “is it any good.” The Lineup Is scores every game on how much it deserves your attention and shows only the ones that clear your bar.

What makes The Lineup Is different
Every game gets a Lineup score built from eleven factors: team quality, the playoff race, how close the game is, rivalry, national TV, championship, momentum, history, star power, elimination and tournament. The base is team quality times closeness times stakes; the rest are capped bonuses on top, so a rivalry lifts a big game more than it rescues a dull one. Every game shows its top three factors (all eleven with Pro), and the score keeps moving while the game is on. You set your own bar and we tell you when a game clears it, with a notification and a Live Activity that starts itself on the lock screen; weight the leagues and teams however you watch. Then each game gets a two-sentence read written from the real state of the season, so you know why it matters before you commit an evening to it. Watching later? Hide Scores keeps results off the app, the lock screen, notifications and widgets.
