Before you jump in

A few quick answers.

Can I explore any NBA team?

Yes. All 30 teams have a public weekly preview. Choose a team above to open its current week. Browsing a preview does not sign you up for texts.

How do I get NBA updates by text?

Current ValidFan NFL fans and invited friends get early access. Choose your team and send one prefilled text. Everyone else joins Chris’s waitlist for personal approval.

Do I need another app?

No. Explore previews in your browser. Enrolled fans receive updates in their phone's messaging app. Rich cards and buttons depend on device and carrier support.

Does Add to Calendar stay in sync?

It saves a one-time copy of confirmed upcoming games. Re-download after a schedule change. Calendar blocks reserve about two and a half hours; finish times are approximate.

Bring your team into the conversation.

Current NFL fans and invited friends can join now. Choose a team and continue with one text.
