Fixture Calendar: Sporting Schedules, Tickets and News at Your Fingertips
Find out about Fixture Calendar, a great way to stay on top of your favourite sport events
AD- This is a promotional blog post.
Have you ever found yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time when the big sports match was on?
If you’re like me and hate to miss out on live sport, you might have found yourself:
Checking scores on your phone during a poorly-timed trip to the in-laws
Desperately running around a foreign city searching for an Irish Bar that shows the rugby in the early hours
Finding yourself in the toilets with a group of fellow wedding guests watching the final overs of a tight Summer Test Match
To non-sports fans, this might seem ridiculous. For the rest of us, these are very real scenarios that usually happen several times a year!
I’ve recently discovered fixturecalendar.com, a website that aims to make it easier for people to plan their lives around sport- whether for organising trips or events well into the future, or simply to find kick-off times for the game this weekend.
This company is an early-stage startup that built their sports planning website during the pandemic.
With sport returning sporadically after Covid and fixtures changing time and location frequently, it sounds like the Fixture Calendar team are working non-stop to keep the site up to date.
This site has a lot of flexibility, and it means they are often more accurate than Google and look much further into the future than BBC Sport and similar wesbites.
One of the things I love about Fixture Calendar is being able to search by location or date, so I can see exactly what sports are happening in a particular date range.
You can experience this:
“Are you free for my aunty’s 70th birthday party on the last weekend in July?”
“Let me check the calendar.” - final Lions v SA Test and Tokyo Olympics days 8&9 - “Nope, sorry Aunty.”
An added bonus is the addition of curated links to news, stats, tickets, watch online and more- and they’ve got lots of new features to come down the line.
The website is one of the best out there for accurate sports fixture information- especially for the longer term- and I will be bookmarking this site for whenever I want time-zone clarity.
Give it a go, you might find it becomes your go-to sporting calendar. Here’s what it looks like:
It’s easy to search the Fixture Calendar by sports, locations, competitions, teams.
You can choose your time-zone to make sure you’ve got the time right where you are. Handy when we’re eventually allowed to travel with freedom!
All the biggest sporting events, like Euro 2020, Tokyo Olympics, Wimbledon and the Super Bowl, plus everything from Swedish football to darts to cycling.
