The Lineup Is vs Fixtured
Fixtured is a sports calendar app for iOS and Android. It tracks fixtures across more than 500 leagues, builds a watchlist, syncs to your calendar, and supports Live Activities and widgets. 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 from 0 to 100 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 an importance score from 0 to 100, built from eleven factors: playoff stakes, rivalry, rankings, how close the game projects to be, star power, championship implications, elimination pressure, momentum, history, national broadcast reach, and overall matchup quality. Boosts are multiplicative, so a rivalry lifts a big game far more than it rescues a dull one. Every score shows its factors. Then each game gets a short narrative written from the real state of the season, so you know why it matters before you commit an evening to it.
