Big match tonight? Don’t watch alone. MatchBuddy helps football fans find nearby people to watch with, join home watch parties, and connect around live fixtures. What makes it different is the real-world social layer built specifically for matchday: fans can discover nearby supporters, see hosting setups and vibe, request to join watch parties, unlock chats, and coordinate in-app. It’s built for live football energy, not generic social networking.

Hey Product Hunt! I built MatchBuddy for football fans who hate watching big matches alone.
The idea is simple: if you have a great setup, you can host. If you don’t, you can find nearby fans or watch parties, check the vibe, and request to join. We wanted to make matchday feel social again, especially for huge tournaments and late-night fixtures.
Would love your feedback on the idea, onboarding, and what features you’d want most for live matchday communities.

Found two locals hosting the derby nearby through MatchBuddy, walked over and ended up watching with a great group. Nice that it filters for actual matchday vibe instead of being just another chat app.

love that the watch party host can show their setup and vibe before you join - small detail but it kills the awkwardness of walking into a stranger's living room. finally a sports social app that gets the actual matchday experience.

love how the "vibe" filter on watch party listings actually pushes you past the generic social feed feel. feels built for the 7pm kickoff rush, not bolted on after.

@hakanaknto2q Really appreciate that, thank you. That was exactly the goal, to make MatchBuddy feel built for the urgency and emotion of live matchday, not like a generic social feed with football layered on top.

@ademkormaz18079 Thank you, that means a lot. We wanted the vibe preview to create a little more trust before someone joins, because watch parties should feel exciting and comfortable, not awkward or random.

Love that the vibe and setup details are front and center when browsing watch parties, it makes picking the right room feel way more personal than just seeing a generic address.
