I built a search engine for "what channel is the game on"
Every sports fan has done this. Game starts at 7. At 7:04 you're still cycling through Paramount+, Peacock, ESPN, your TV provider's app, and a Reddit thread from 2023, trying to work out which one has it. By the time you find it you've missed the first drive.
The reason it's annoying isn't that nobody's solved it, it's that the problem is genuinely ugly underneath. Rights are split by sport, by league, by region, by week, and sometimes by individual game. The same matchup can be on a national broadcast for one person and a regional network for someone two states away. There isn't one source of truth, which is why every existing answer is either a fan-maintained spreadsheet or a schedule page that doesn't know where you are.
So I built Find The Game. You search a team, a matchup, or an event, it uses your location, and it tells you where it's actually on whether a streaming service, TV channel, or free over-the-air if that's an option. You can follow teams and save games.
It covers NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, F1, NASCAR and the Premier League right now.
Two things I'd genuinely like input on: whether "follow your teams and we tell you where tonight's game is" is worth building notifications for, or whether people would rather just search when they need it. And whether anyone would pay for this, or whether it's permanently a free utility.
The “centralizing the code isn’t the same as centralizing the decision” distinction is the key insight here. Once entitlement logic is spread across the stack, reducing duplication doesn’t necessarily solve the consistency problem.
