Ranked Matchups (Top Games)
Version: 1.12.0 |
Author: Jacob-Lasky | Last Updated: Jul 20 2026, 14:01 UTC |
Cross-sport interestingness curator. Pulls upcoming games per enabled sport, scores them on interestingness, matches to Dispatcharr channels via EPG, and renames+groups them into a Top Matchups channel profile so your guide shows only the games worth watching. Channels are numbered by kickoff time, so the list sorts soonest-first and the guide binds correctly in both the default M3U/EPG output and the Xtream Codes API with no special settings.

Ranked Matchups (Top Games)
A cross-sport “interestingness” curator for Dispatcharr. It pulls upcoming games for each sport you enable, scores every matchup on how interesting it is (rankings, standings, rivalries, betting lines, playoff/knockout stakes), matches the worthwhile games to your existing Dispatcharr channels via EPG, and renames + groups them into a dedicated Top Matchups channel profile. Your guide ends up showing the games worth watching instead of the full firehose.
What it does
- Per-sport adapters (college football/basketball, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, NWSL, MLS, top-flight soccer leagues, internationals/friendlies, World Cup, and more), each toggleable.
- Scores matchups with a transparent model (see
SCORING.mdin the source repo): ranked-vs-ranked, standings importance, rivalries, and betting-line signal where available. - Matches scored games to your channels through EPG and builds a curated Top Matchups profile with clean, renamed entries.
- Runs on demand from the plugin UI or on a schedule.
Requirements
- Most sources need a free API key (e.g. CollegeFootballData / CollegeBasketballData, Football-Data.org, The Odds API). Each sport’s setting documents which key it needs; sports you do not enable need no key.
- Off-season sports simply produce no rows.
