Sports League Scheduling Software
The Scheduling System of Record for Your League.
Regular season, playoffs and tournaments — teams, surfaces, practices, travel, blackouts and rules solved together in minutes, and re-planned when the season changes. SportsPlanr sits above the platforms your member associations already publish on.

Set the Rules. Know They'll Work.
Define your league's rules, requirements, teams, facilities and surfaces, and available time in plain language. A Spot Check automatically checks whether your rules and requirements can still produce a feasible schedule — before you generate anything.

Know When Your Rules Don't Work.
Tighten a rule too far and SportsPlanr says so straight away — then suggests changes that may help make it work. You find out while you're still setting things up, not after the schedule is published to your league.
Before a single game is placed, SportsPlanr tells you whether the dates and surfaces you have can hold the games you've promised.
Not Just Matchups. The Whole Scheduling Problem.
SportsPlanr Schedules the Reality Around the Games.
A real league isn't a list of independent games. Teams, divisions, facilities, practices, travel, availability, fairness, and scheduling rules all compete for the same limited resources — and every one of them constrains the others.
All of these conditions are considered together.
Any one of them is easy on its own. It's the interaction between them that makes real scheduling hard — so SportsPlanr weighs them as a single problem to decide whether a workable schedule is possible, and to find one when it is.
Facilities & Surfaces
Available time blocks · Surfaces shared across divisions · Availability by surface, event type, and geography · Predefined games and practices
Scheduling
Home and away balance · Fairness across teams · Even start and end times · Days between events · Equal travel loads
Competition
Games · Practices · Playoffs · Cross-division tournament and bracket scheduling
Travel is part of the schedule.
An away game isn't just a matchup — it's a trip to another centre. Each division sets the days and times its teams are able to travel, and away games are placed inside those windows.
Example
U14 Barrie Orillia
Saturday · 7:00 PM
Inside the division's travel window
Games and practices. One problem.
Practices aren't scheduled after the games are done. They compete for the same surfaces and the same available time, so they're placed together.
Example
Saturday
Surface 1
- 9:00 AMU11 Practice
- 11:00 AMU13 Game
- 1:00 PMU15 Game
Surface 2
- 9:00 AMU9 Practice
- 11:00 AMU11 Game

Weather, closures, team changes? Reschedule only what has to move.
Mid-season, things happen that nobody planned for. A storm wipes out a weekend. A venue closes. A field goes down, a team changes divisions, a club asks for a different night. The schedule has to change — and only the games that have to move should move, without rebuilding the season.
- Pick the date the change takes effect. Everything already played, and everything before that date, stays exactly as it is.
- Only the affected games are re-planned. A team moving divisions, a venue losing a weekend — the engine moves what it must and leaves the rest alone, with every rule still honoured.
- See every change before anyone else does. Each game that moved, where it was and where it is now, by division. Approve it, or discard it and try again.
Complexity Under the Hood. Simplicity at the Surface.
That was the problem. These are the capabilities that solve it — you describe what your league needs in plain language, the scheduling engine solves it.
Automated Schedule Generation
Full-season schedules in minutes instead of weeks — constraints, surfaces, and availability handled together.
Spot Check — Automatic Feasibility Validation
Every rule change is checked automatically. When the rules can't work, you get suggestions.
AI Command Centre
Configure rules, requirements, teams, surfaces, and availability in plain language. You confirm every change.
Scenario Comparison
Build several workable schedules for one season; publish the best.
Mid-Season Reschedule
A team moves, a surface drops out, a date changes. Only the affected games are re-planned, and you review the diff before it goes live.
Scheduling Rules & Constraints
Blackouts, allowed days and times, travel limits, and fairness — by team, division, surface, and event. Divisions aren't solved in isolation: they share surfaces and compete for the same available time.
Plain language makes the complexity easy to express. The scheduling engine does the hard solving.
How It Works
Set up your season once, then build and compare as many schedules as you need.
1
Define
Your teams, surfaces, and availability — the season set up once — then each schedule’s required and preferred rules.
2
Validate
Every change is automatically checked for feasibility. A Spot Check tells you when rules can’t work, and offers suggestions.
3
Solve
The scheduling engine solves the whole league together. Copy a regular-season schedule to compare options.
4
Adapt
A surface or team changes mid-season? Only the games that have to move are re-planned; everything already played stays put.
Don't Just Generate a Schedule. Know How Good It Is.
Every schedule gets a report card, so you can judge its quality before you publish it — and build more than one option to choose from.

- Evaluate
- Compare

Your Schedule. Ask It Anything.
The Command Centre keeps working after the schedule is built. Ask questions about it in plain language — and change it as the season unfolds.
AI Command Centre
“What is the average start time for teams in the U7 division?”
Average start time: 6:18 PM example
- How many home games do the Tigers have?
- Which teams have the most Friday-night games?
- Which surfaces are used most?
Schedules Change. SportsPlanr Adapts.
Surfaces, teams, divisions, available time, new rules — say what changed and SportsPlanr re-checks that the schedule still works.
- “Surface 3 is closed next weekend.” Only the games on Surface 3 move
- “Move the Tigers to the U14 division.” Updated schedule is feasible
- “The Hawks are at a tournament next weekend.” Only the Hawks' games move

Our scheduling engine has solved complex multi-city league logistics since 2018 — balancing games, practices, travel, and contended venue time across dozens of sites. Built on top of that proven engine, our modern web platform gives league administrators complete control to build, run, and adjust entire season schedules independently.
We first used SportsPlanr for the 2025–26 SMGHL season, managing a schedule for nearly 60 teams across five leagues, and the time savings were incredible.
The platform made a very complex process much easier, particularly when managing team blackouts and ice allocations across dozens of arenas. We also had countless hard and soft rules to account for, from tournament blackouts to prioritizing earlier game times for younger age groups and later times for older teams, and SportsPlanr handled them seamlessly.
Randy and his team were fantastic to work with. They were responsive, helpful and always willing to support us whenever needed.
Hands down, I would use SportsPlanr again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SportsPlanr scheduling, setup, and pricing.
What sports does SportsPlanr support?
SportsPlanr is sport-agnostic. It works for any sport that uses seasons, divisions, teams, and surfaces — hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and more. The scheduling engine applies your rules and constraints regardless of sport type.
How quickly can a schedule be generated?
Most organizations generate a complete schedule in minutes, and re-check a rule change in seconds. Once your teams, surfaces, and constraints are configured, the engine produces an optimized schedule ready for review and publishing. Subsequent seasons are even faster using cloned settings.
What is a Spot Check?
A Spot Check is a quick feasibility check: it tells you whether your scheduling rules and requirements can actually produce a result before you run a full generation. It runs automatically when you change the scheduling rules or requirements and reports whether they are feasible or not feasible — and when they’re not feasible, contextual AI-generated suggestions point you to what to adjust. Starting from a simple, least-restrictive schedule and watching the Spot Check as you tighten the rules means conflicts show up in seconds, so you never over-invest in generating a schedule that was never going to work.
Can I make manual adjustments after the schedule is generated?
Yes. SportsPlanr gives you full editorial control after generation. You can move individual games, adjust surfaces, and edit matchups. If you change the scheduling rules or requirements themselves, a Spot Check re-runs automatically so you know they are still feasible before you generate again.
Can the AI just do the work for me?
Yes. There's an AI assistant on every screen. Across season setup, scheduling rules, scenarios, schedule review, and admin, you can describe what you want in plain language — for example, "add U10 and U12 divisions" or "block the holiday weekend for the Squirt division." The assistant turns your request into a set of proposed changes, which you review and confirm before anything is applied. You can still do everything with the regular forms; chatting is just a faster path.
Does the AI change anything on its own?
No. The assistant only proposes changes — it never applies them automatically. You see a clear summary of exactly what will change and confirm it first, and it only proposes actions you have permission to perform. Nothing is saved until you approve it.
How does tournament scheduling work?
Tournament scheduling uses the same generation pipeline as a regular season, with bracket-specific logic layered on top. SportsPlanr handles bracket structure, seeding, round-robin group play, and game progression automatically. Manual controls are available for final adjustments.
How does playoff scheduling differ from regular season scheduling?
Playoffs use seeded matchups, configurable series formats, and progression-aware structure, so the schedule adapts as teams advance. You get the same generation speed with additional logic specific to playoff structure, while retaining manual control at the game level.
Does SportsPlanr support organizations that run multiple leagues?
Yes. SportsPlanr supports multiple leagues — rep, house, and recreational divisions — within one platform. Resources like surfaces can be shared across leagues, and all scheduling is managed from a single workflow.
What is the difference between the Scheduling and Scheduling + Hosting plans?
Both plans include the full scheduling engine — regular season, tournament, and playoff generation. Scheduling lets you export schedules into your existing website or communication tools. Scheduling + Hosting adds a public-facing schedule website hosted by SportsPlanr.
What happens if a schedule needs to change mid-season?
Mark the live schedule for a change, say what changed — a team moved divisions, a surface is closed, a club's availability shifted — and choose the date it takes effect. Everything before that date stays exactly as played. Only the remaining games that have to move are re-planned, with every rule still applied, and you see each one — where it was, where it is now — before anything is published. Individual games can also be edited by hand at any time.
Are there setup or onboarding fees?
Self-serve onboarding materials and email support are included with every plan. For hands-on help during initial setup, an optional Onboarding Assist Session is available as a one-time add-on, priced by team tier and confirmed during your consultation.
How is this different from Fastbreak AI?
Fastbreak AI is a tournament-operations platform, monetised on registration fees. SportsPlanr is season scheduling — placing a whole league's games and practices against shared venues, travel and availability, in any sport. Two differences decide it: Fastbreak does not model leagues that pool teams across member associations, or the eligibility rules a governing body imposes where one applies; and SportsPlanr's pricing is a published annual subscription — the rates are on this page — not a per-registration service fee. If you run tournaments as a business, they are the better fit. If you own a season calendar, we are.
What currency is pricing in?
SportsPlanr bills in CAD, USD or EUR. Your organization's currency is set when it's created, from its location: EUR in eurozone countries, CAD in Canada, USD everywhere else. Prices on this page are listed in CAD, and you can change that above. Billing is annual.
How do I get started?
The first step is a 30-minute demo with your management team and lead scheduler. We walk through the platform, understand your scheduling needs, and provide a tailored quote with a clear launch timeline.
