Before the match starts

Live matchday publishes updates to connected families, so confirm the event and squad before starting. Use a stable data connection where possible.

Run the match

  1. 1
    Open the match event and select the squad

    Add only participating players and check the starting lineup.

  2. 2
    Start live matchday at kick-off

    Starting early can send families to a live view before the match is actually underway.

  3. 3
    Record events as they happen

    Add goals, cards and substitutions against the correct player and minute.

  4. 4
    Correct mistakes promptly

    Review the event timeline rather than adding a second compensating event.

  5. 5
    End the match once the score is final

    Confirm the final score and completed state before leaving the screen.

After full time

  • The final score is correct.
  • The match is marked complete.
  • The event timeline has no duplicates.
  • The family live view and notification open the match.
