House Match
An AI match-picker for sports bars and pubs that tells them which MLS, Premier League, and Liga MX games to put on their TVs each week to maximize crowd and bar spend.
Independent sports bar and pub owners deciding which soccer games to broadcast across their screens
- Match-day score: for each upcoming game, a predicted draw index based on fan density, star power (for example a Messi or Bellingham appearance), and rivalry
- Local demand: pulls your ZIP code's fan demographics to suggest games your specific crowd will show up for
- TV-grid helper: auto-generates a weekly broadcast schedule across your screens, prioritizing must-shows
- Drink-pair alerts: pushes a happy-hour promo to your POS during low-attendance games to lift spend
MLS's continued Messi bump is filling sports bars, but most independent pubs still guess at scheduling rather than using match-day data, and the Apple TV global broadcast of MLS creates a new audience of star-driven casual fans worth targeting.
Messi's MLS impact is real and measurable — MLS attendance up ~20%, 11M+ fans in 2024, Inter Miami gained 14M social followers in 3 months, MLS Cup drew 4.6M viewers; DisplayHUB GamePlan already has paying sports-bar customers validating the scheduling pain.Lionel Messi in MLS: Metrics Behind a Global Ripple Effect ↗Sports Bar TV Planner | Plan Your TV Schedule | DisplayHUB ↗
DisplayHUB GamePlan is a direct, live competitor covering MLS + EPL (plus 7 other leagues) at $10/mo or $60/yr, with auto-import, screen assignment, QR sharing, and staff printouts — the exact problem House Match targets is largely already solved, leaving very little whitespace.Sports Bar TV Planner | Plan Your TV Schedule | DisplayHUB ↗Sports Bar Streaming and Subscriptions: A Complete Guide ↗
$10/mo subscription pricing is validated in the segment (DisplayHUB GamePlan) and bar owners do pay modest SaaS fees for scheduling/AV tooling; however indie pubs are price-sensitive and the base value (schedule + screen assignment) is already met cheaply, so a premium 'AI ranking' layer must prove clear ROI on bar spend.Sports Bar TV Planner | Plan Your TV Schedule | DisplayHUB ↗7 Best AV Control Systems for Sports Bars: A Complete Guide for 2026 ↗

The core scheduling + auto-import + screen-assignment stack is already proven in production by DisplayHUB; building an AI ranking layer on top (team-vs-team draw, local fan density, time slot, rivalry detection) is technically straightforward with public match data and APIs, though acquiring reliable local zip-code fan-share data is the harder piece.Sports Bar TV Planner | Plan Your TV Schedule | DisplayHUB ↗
