What teams and competitions do you have in your watchlist? Can you share the story behind this selection?

I’m Blake Darling, a Product Manager in NYC with deep Michigan roots. Growing up in Ann Arbor, sports were a family obsession—my grandfather worked for the Detroit Lions, and we’ve been season ticket holders since the ‘50s. I’m a University of Michigan alum, cheering for the Wolverines and Detroit’s pro teams like the Red Wings. Now in New York, I’ve added Premier League clubs, rugby, and Formula 1 to the mix, thanks to my global friends. Fixtured keeps my sprawling sports world organized.

How has Fixtured changed how you follow your favorite teams or leagues?

I found Fixtured because it matches my life—a watchlist tying my Michigan past to my NYC present. It tracks my Detroit teams and new favorites, helping me plan bar nights with ease. No more digging for schedules—Fixtured puts every game at my fingertips, from Lions kickoffs to Arsenal matches.

What’s your favorite feature on Fixtured, and why?

My favorite feature? The simple calendar with channel info upfront. As a Product Manager, I love its clean design. It makes planning my sports week effortless, whether I’m catching a Red Wings game at home or meeting friends for a match.

What advice would you give to a new user getting started with Fixtured?

Pro tip for new users: Enable push notifications. They’re subtle but keep you on top of every game—perfect for never missing a Lions play or a chance to tease my Chelsea pals.

Any new sport, team, league or feature you'd love to see on Fixtured?

One request: Add NCAA games! I’d kill to follow my Wolverines on Fixtured, reliving my Ann Arbor glory days at the Big House or during March Madness.

Fixtured’s my sports command center, connecting my Detroit heritage, NYC life, and worldwide fandom. For a fan and Product Manager who craves efficiency, it’s a game-changer. Try it out—your sports week will thank you.
