Accessing Matches

This guide explains how to find and access match videos, either through purchase or by watching content you already own.

Step 1: Navigate to the Events Screen

  1. From the bottom navigation bar of the app, tap the "View Events" button.
  2. This button is represented by a calendar icon.

Step 2: Discover Matches

The Events screen offers four primary starting points to help you find the match you want. You can switch between the tabs at the top of the screen:

Tab Name Best Used For... Discovery Flow
Competition Finding videos based on leagues or tournaments. Search for the competition name (e.g., Newport U14 Football League). Tap the result to view all matches in that competition.
Teams Finding matches involving a specific team (for team sports). Select the team you are interested in. This shows all available matches they have participated in.
Players Finding matches involving a specific player (for individual sports). Select the player you are interested in. This shows all available matches they have participated in.
Match Browsing all available content directly. Scroll through the complete list of all watchable matches on the PlayerFan platform.

Narrowing the List: Once you have selected a Competition, Team, or Player, you can further refine the list of matches by selecting a specific Edition (e.g., 2024-2025 edition) from the drop-down list.

Step 3: Access the Match Preview

Each match list item displays an Access Indication Icon to show its status:

  • Triangle Play Icon: Access has already been purchased.

  • Paper Currency Icon: Access needs to be purchased before watching.

  • Locate the match you are interested in using any of the discovery paths above.

  • Tap on the "Access" icon to be taken to the Match Preview page.

Step 4: Watch or Purchase the Match

From the Match Preview page, you have the following options:

  1. If Access is Owned: Tap the "Watch" button. This will load the video player and begin the match video.
  2. If Access is NOT Owned: Tap the "Buy Now" button and follow the prompts to complete the purchase securely. Once purchased, the "Buy Now" button will change to "Watch."

You can easily share a match with friends or followers:

  1. On the Match Preview page, tap the Share Button (an arrow going upwards from a box).
  2. This will launch your native device sharing screens.
  3. Select a contact or platform to send the link. The recipient can use the link to download the app, purchase access, and watch the match.
