Three leagues, three vibes cross-sport guide

Picking teams across leagues you don't follow as closely? Here's what you're signing up for when WTWTW puts each one on your screen.

closing minutes are the show

Where it lives ESPN+, TNT, Hulu, regional networks

WTWTW doesn't pick by sport — your team rank decides. Mix all three and you'll get a different feel each night.

Starter setups three easy ways in

WTWTW works best when the list has a point of view. Start with one of these shapes, then swap in the teams you actually care about.

Local lock-in nearby first
best for weeknight defaults

Pick your home teams across leagues and rank them in the order you would actually turn on the TV. The app will surface the nearest emotional stake first.

One rivalry pair two teams
best for automatic big nights

Put both halves of one matchup at the top. When they meet, the choice gets obvious without needing a special rivalry rule.

One contender per league balanced slate
best for casual fans

Choose one MLB, one NBA, and one NHL team you would enjoy watching deep into the season. It keeps the calendar alive without making every night a research project.

Rules of the pick

Your team list is ranked by position — team #1 beats team #2 if both have games tonight.

If two of your teams play each other, the game shows up once at the higher-priority team's slot.

Only evening games (5 PM – 11:30 PM your time) count. Afternoon matinees are skipped.

Your picks are saved in your browser — no account needed.
