MatchPal is football intelligence, not just scores. Every transfer rumour is scored 0-100 from 40+ sources and journalist reputation, with a timeline from rumour to done deal. An Injury Hub tracks who's out and who's back for 100+ competitions. On matchday: goal, line-up and kick-off alerts in seconds, Live Activities on the lock screen, attack momentum, player ratings on the pitch and a TV guide with your country's channels first. Clean, dark, free, built by fans.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Lewis, co-founder of MatchPal, a football app built by a two-person team.
It started as a Saturday-afternoon annoyance: I'd open a scores app to check one kick-off time and get a full-screen ad, a betting banner, then a second ad before I found the match. And still nothing told me which channel it was on. So we built the app we wanted: scores, lineups and a TV guide that lists the broadcasters for every match in every country, your own first, with goal and line-up alerts and a Live Activity on the lock screen so you can put the phone down.
The part we're proudest of is the Transfer Hub. Transfer news is mostly recycled rumours, so MatchPal reads 40+ outlets, weights each story by the outlet's and the journalist's track record, and shows a confidence score from "rumour" through to "done deal". The same pipeline powers an Injury Hub that says who's actually available this weekend.
MatchPal isn't only an iPhone app. It already runs inside Reddit as a native app and inside Discord as a bot, installed in football communities with a combined membership of around 17 million fans. The iOS app brings all of that into one place, plus a Daily Pick prediction game with a Pal Score leaderboard, Five-a-Side Fantasy, and match chat. It's free and there are no ads.
Honest caveat: it's iOS only today, with Android in progress.
One question: when you check a score, what's the one thing you wish the app showed you next to it?
