Meet Your People at the Biggest Moments on Earth
Matchday is the dating and social app built around live events — geo-fenced rooms, verified attendees, and matches who are actually there. One event pass. No subscription. No regrets.
The Window Is Real. The Crowd Is Already There.
Four Steps from Kickoff to Connection
Matchday runs on event time, not algorithm time. The whole thing is built around showing up.
Grab Your Pass
Buy a one-time event pass for $9–$12 via Stripe. It unlocks on event week and expires when the final whistle blows — no subscription, no renewal prompt, no catch.
Drop Into the Room
You're placed in a geo-fenced event room populated only by verified ticket holders and city-access fans. Everyone here is actually going.
Match on Event Energy
Countdown-weighted matching surfaces people most likely to show up to the same sessions, venues, or fan zones — not just the most recently active profile.
Show Up Together
Chat is time-boxed to the event window. Meetups are at real, scheduled venues. When the event ends, the room closes — and the memory is yours to keep.
Built Different. On Purpose.
Geo-Fenced Event Rooms — Not a Global Swipe Pool
Every Matchday room is scoped to a single event footprint. If you're holding a Copa América Miami ticket, you're matched with people in the same stadium district, the same fan zones, the same city pulse — not someone in a different country who also likes soccer. Context is the filter. Presence is the prerequisite.
Time-Boxed Chat That Respects the Moment
Conversations open with the event and close with it. There's no haunted inbox of year-old matches, no algorithmic nudge to re-engage. The urgency is real because the clock is real — and that's exactly why people actually show up.
One Pass. One Price. No Dark Patterns.
Matchday charges a flat $9–$12 event pass with no auto-renew, no pay-per-message, no premium boost upsells. The pricing model is the product philosophy: we make money when the event is worth attending, not when you're too distracted to cancel.
Every Feature Earned Its Spot
Nothing here exists to maximize screen time. Everything exists to get you in the same room as someone worth meeting.
Verified Attendee Badges
Ticket or city-access verification gates every room. No catfishing from the couch three time zones away.
Countdown-Weighted Matching
The algorithm weights recency, proximity, and event overlap — so your top matches are the ones most likely to actually be at the same venue tomorrow.
Scheduled Real-Venue Meetups
Matchday surfaces official and community fan-zone meetup spots so a match can turn into a plan in two taps, not twenty messages.
Event-Scoped Profiles
Your Matchday profile shows what events you're attending, not just who you are — giving matches an instant, honest reason to say hello.
Social + Dating Modes
Toggle between dating intent and friend-group mode. Whether you want a date for the final or a crew for the fan march, the room works for you.
Auto-Expiring Rooms
When the event ends, the room closes cleanly. No ghost data, no lingering pressure — just a clear beginning, middle, and end.
From the Crowd
“I've been to four World Cup qualifiers solo and never met anyone. Matchday had me at a fan-zone table with three people from my match queue before halftime of the first group game. That's not an app — that's a plan.”
“The no-subscription thing actually made me trust it. I paid once, showed up, met someone real. It felt like buying a concert ticket, not signing up for therapy.”
“As a host-city local I always feel like an outsider at my own city's big events. Matchday's local-fan room changed that completely — I had a reason to walk up and say hi.”

Real Questions. Straight Answers.
What happens to my matches after the event ends?
The event room closes and the time-boxed chat expires — by design. If you exchanged contact info during the event window, that connection is yours. Matchday doesn't hold your social life hostage to keep you on the app.
Do I need an actual event ticket to join a room?
Verified ticket holders get full access. City-access verification (hotel booking, flight confirmation, local ID) unlocks host-city local rooms. We're strict about this — it's what makes the rooms worth joining.
Is this a dating app, a friend-finder, or something else?
Both, intentionally. You set your intent — dating, new friends, or event crew — and the room surfaces relevant matches. The event is the shared context that makes either feel natural instead of awkward.
Which events are live right now?
Copa América Miami is our pilot. 2026 FIFA World Cup city rooms (Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Dallas, and more) open in 2025. LA 2028 Olympics rooms follow. Check /events for the current live and upcoming roster.
Why not just use Tinder or Hinge during the event week?
Those apps have no idea you're at the World Cup. Your matches could be anywhere in the city — or the country. Matchday's entire premise is that everyone in your room is verified to be at the same event, which is the one thing no general dating app can offer.
