About Screen Lineup
Methodology reviewed September 4, 2026
What Screen Lineup does
Screen Lineup helps people find live sports by date, sport, announced channel or streaming service, and—on the personal lineup—ZIP-aware local broadcast coverage. It is an independent informational guide owned and maintained by Justin Howell. Screen Lineup is not a league, broadcaster, streaming service, or TV provider.
Where the listings come from
Schedules are assembled from publicly available league, network, streaming-service, and TV-listing sources. Current sport and discovery pages identify the operating source or source group in their visible schedule notes. Source links are shown on listings when the upstream feed provides a useful destination.
Screen Lineup normalizes event names, times, and broadcaster labels, then removes likely duplicates. A broadcaster label means that source was attached to the event when the page was refreshed; it does not prove that every plan, device, ZIP code, or subscriber can watch it.
How often schedules update
Dynamic schedule pages show their own exact refresh time. The public sport and discovery pages are normally cached for up to 15 minutes, while the personal lineup uses shorter-lived or date-aware cached results. Upstream providers can publish late assignments or corrections after Screen Lineup's latest refresh.
Known limits
Coverage is not exhaustive. Local affiliates, regional sports networks, authenticated streams, blackouts, add-on requirements, device restrictions, and unannounced assignments can change what a person can actually watch. Some providers do not publish complete open schedules. Screen Lineup keeps those gaps visible instead of treating an empty or unavailable source as proof that no event exists.
Times are shown in Eastern time on public schedule pages unless a local-time control is enabled. Prices and plan details are dated or qualified and should be confirmed with the provider before purchase.
Corrections and contact
If a listing, viewing-source guide, price note, or methodology statement appears wrong, email partners@screenlineup.com. Include the page address, event or service, and the source you believe is more current. Corrections are reviewed against public evidence before the site is changed.
Affiliate independence
Some eligible outbound links are affiliate links and are labeled “Paid link.” An affiliate relationship does not determine whether an event, network, service, or recommendation appears. Schedule inclusion comes from available viewing evidence, and services without an approved affiliate destination keep an ordinary direct link. See the terms and affiliate disclosure for more detail.
