Features

Everything you need
for a great match

FanSpot turns every match into a shared experience. Find, join, share.

100% free, for everyone
100% free, for everyone

No subscription, no commission, for fans or venues. FanSpot is funded solely by ads that blend naturally into the experience: no pop-ups to close, no fullscreen takeovers, never a forced click, they're simply part of the scenery. They let FanSpot live, grow, and keep bringing you more services, for fans and venues alike, as we roll out new sports over time.

01 Interactive map
Interactive map

On the map, you instantly see the venues showing a match within 3 km, for the sport you've selected. To find a specific match, use the Match tab: filter by sport and competition (live matches always appear first), select it and the map shows only the places showing it. You can also search for a venue directly from the map. One tap on Directions and you're guided to the venue.

02 Presence confirmation
Presence confirmation

Did you receive an invitation from a FanSpot venue, or from a friend whose invitation originally came from a FanSpot venue? Go there and open the app: a presence confirmation pop-up appears. You are then counted at the event and receive your souvenir ticket, showing who you shared that moment with. On a community spot, confirm the spot to make the information credible for the whole FanSpot community. Always respecting your privacy.

03 My Team
My Team

Add up to two favourite teams (My Team and My Team 2) to your profile to find all their matches for the week at a glance, flagged with the ⭐ badge. An easier way to pick the match you want to spot for the community.

04 Invitations from your favourite venues
Invitations from your favourite venues

Add a venue as a favourite: as soon as it announces a match, you get a notification and reply right in the app, Coming, Maybe or No, letting the venue track how many people are coming. You can see who replied Coming among those who agreed to appear. You can also share the invitation with your own friends or groups, who can then re-share it with theirs in turn.

Not in your favourites yet? From the map, join a certified venue's event in one tap: it's added to your agenda with Coming, just like an invitation.

05 Souvenir tickets
Souvenir tickets

Only FanSpot-certified venues issue a souvenir ticket, automatically generated as soon as fans confirm their presence on site: final score, teams, venue, and attendees who agreed to be shown.

06 Notifications
Notifications

Get a push notification as soon as a FanSpot venue you've favourited announces or cancels a match, or as soon as one of your friends spots a venue.

Souvenir tickets

This moment
will last for
ever

Only certified venues issue a souvenir ticket.

You choose at any time whether to appear or stay anonymous on shared tickets, your privacy always stays in your hands. Share it straight to your socials in the format that suits you: just add a caption and you're ready to post.

For venues

Your venue
on every fan's map

Join FanSpot and attract fans looking for where to watch the match right around the corner.

Free, ultra-simple and fast sign-up: with Google, Apple or an email address. Reserved for venues that can realistically show live sports (bars, restaurants, pubs, hotels…). A business unrelated to sport, like a butcher shop, can't register on FanSpot. For security, our team calls every venue within 48 hours at most to confirm its identity.

FAQ

All your questions,
answered

Wondering where to watch your next match? Here are the answers to the questions we get asked most.

Where can I watch a match tonight?
Open the FanSpot map: every bar, pub and restaurant near you showing a match tonight or coming up appears in real time, with the competition and kick-off time.
How do I know where a game is being shown near me?
FanSpot shows every match being shown nearby live on the map, whether announced by a venue or spotted by another fan on site. You can also select a match in the panel to filter the map and show only the venues showing it. Just open the map to see what's on where, no need to call around.
Which bars are showing the match near me?
On the FanSpot map, select your match: only the venues showing it stay on screen, whether they are FanSpot-certified bars that announce their own matches or places spotted by fans on site. You also see how many fans have confirmed their presence by GPS, and you can get directions in one tap.
How do I find a sports bar showing my match?
Download FanSpot, open the map and see in real time the venues near you announcing matches tonight or coming up.
Where can I watch the Champions League, the Premier League or my national team in a bar?
In FanSpot, filter matches by competition (Leagues), by team, or turn on My Team to see the matches of your favourite teams straight away (you can pick two: My Team and My Team 2). Then select the match: the map only shows the venues around you that are showing it. Live matches always appear first.
How can a fan spot a match?
Are you at a venue currently showing or about to show a match? On the map tab, select the match, then tap the Spot button: the venues available within 200 metres around you appear, just pick one and confirm.
How can I be sure a bar is really showing the match?
FanSpot-certified venues announce the matches they show themselves: the information comes straight from them. For places spotted by the community, fans on site confirm the spot by GPS: the more confirmations, the more reliable the information, and their number is shown on the place's card.
Do I need to book to watch the match in a bar?
FanSpot does not handle bookings. However, by replying "Coming" to a certified venue's announcement, you help it plan for the crowd, and the venue can show in real time whether it still has room or is full: you know before you leave.
Is FanSpot free?
Yes, FanSpot is completely free, for fans and venues alike, no subscription, no commission, no surprises. The app is funded by ads, our only source of revenue, but we make it a point of honour to keep them well integrated and never disruptive to browsing, no button to tap, no full-screen ads to close. Download the app on iOS or Android at no cost.
Does FanSpot work in my city and abroad?
Yes. FanSpot works all over Europe, in six languages (French, English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German). On holiday or travelling, the map shows the venues around you showing your match, just like at home.
How do I register my venue on FanSpot?
Sign up with your Google account, your Apple account or simply your email address, then type your city and your venue's name, and select the right Google listing: the correct information (address, phone number, GPS position) then flows into the app automatically. Registration is reserved for places that can broadcast sports events (bar, restaurant, pub, hotel...): a business unrelated to sport can't register. Your venue instantly appears on every fan's map nearby. For security, our team calls you within 48 hours at most to confirm your identity.
Does FanSpot work for all sports?
FanSpot covers football and rugby. Venues announce live which matches they're showing.
What does the on-site GPS presence confirmation do, for a community spot or for an invitation?
As soon as you're physically at a venue showing a match, FanSpot offers to confirm your presence via GPS, but it plays a different role depending on the situation. On a community spot, declared by a fan, your confirmation validates the information for others and grows your spotter reputation: your participation is what fuels FanSpot's social side, the more confirmations there are on the ground, the more the community can rely on them. On an invitation sent by one of your favourite venues, this prompt appears no matter what you replied beforehand (Coming, Maybe or No): it counts you among those attending and triggers your souvenir ticket. So even if you replied No and change your mind, your presence on site is still taken into account. If you really don't want to see this prompt again for a given event, reply No and then delete the invitation from the app.
