StreamMatch welcomes guest posts from sports writers, fans and analysts who can explain a game, a schedule or a ticket ballot clearly and accurately. If you watch the NBA, darts, football, cricket or tennis, and you can back up what you write with real dates, teams, venues and broadcast details, we want to hear from you.
What topics can you write about for StreamMatch?
We publish guest posts on the sports our readers follow most. Choose a topic you know well, and pitch an angle that answers a question a fan would actually ask.

- World Darts Championship tickets, the Alexandra Palace ballot and PDC events
- Football fixtures, results, league tables and major tournaments
- Cricket fixtures, results, international series and major tournaments
- Tennis Grand Slams, ATP and WTA tours, draws and results

We do not accept posts about betting odds, casino games or any sport we do not cover.
What are the StreamMatch guest post guidelines?
- Original work only, written for StreamMatch and not published elsewhere.
- 800 to 1,500 words, with a clear question in each main heading.
- Facts must be correct. Check dates, team names, league names, venues and TV channels before you submit, and link to the official schedule, league or broadcaster where it helps the reader.
- No invented scores, dates or quotes, and no filler.
- Use clear, plain English. Use commas, periods or colons instead of dashes.
- Include a short introduction that answers the main question in the first two sentences.
How many links can you include, and what is the StreamMatch author bio policy?
You may include up to two relevant links inside your article, only where they help the reader, for example a link to an official schedule or to a StreamMatch article. Links must not be paid, affiliate or promotional, and we do not accept links to betting, casino or unrelated commercial sites. We may add links to StreamMatch articles where they help the reader.
Every guest post ends with an author bio of up to 50 words. Your bio may include one link to your own website, portfolio or social media profile, and one short line about who you are and what you cover. We publish your name exactly as you give it in your submission.
How do you submit a guest post to StreamMatch?
Send your pitch through our Contact page. Include your proposed title, a short outline, your word count, and a link to one writing sample. If we like your idea, we will ask for the full draft. We aim to reply to every pitch within five working days. Please do not send a finished draft in your first message.
You can also read our latest articles on the Blog page before you pitch, so you can see the style and topics we publish.
What happens after you submit a guest post?
- We check the facts, dates, teams, venues and channels in your draft.
- We edit for clarity, accuracy and house style, and we may change headings so each one asks a clear question.
- We tell you the publication date and send you the live link when your post is published.
- We may decline a post that is inaccurate, off topic or already covered on StreamMatch.
