Never miss a tip-off. Courtside Countdown counts down to your team's next game, men's or women's, with a dial that glows in your team's colors.
PICK A TEAM, TAP LOAD
Choose Men's or Women's, pick a team, and tap Load. The whole 2026-27 schedule fills in: opponents, home, away, and neutral-site games, holiday tournaments, and tip-off times. 64 programs for each, about 3,900 games in all, ready to go.
A COUNTDOWN YOU CAN SEE
- A dial fills as tip-off approaches, with days, hours, minutes, and seconds
- When the game starts, the dial turns to LIVE and stays that way for the length of a game, then moves on to the next one by itself
- Your team's colors run through the whole screen, from the header band to the court lines to the dial
BOTH TEAMS, ONE TAP
Flip between a school's men's and women's lists with one tap, or follow as many teams as you like. Games that happen on the same day show up together.
YOUR TIME ZONE, AUTOMATICALLY
Every tip-off is shown in your phone's own time zone. A 6:00 PM Eastern game reads 3:00 PM on the West Coast.
SEASON CALENDAR
See every game from all your lists on one month view, with a dot in each team's colors. Tap a day to see who's playing and when.
ADD TO YOUR CALENDAR
One tap adds your team's confirmed games to your iPhone calendar. Games still waiting on a time are left out until it's announced, and tapping again later adds only the new ones, so nothing doubles up. Courtside Countdown asks for "Add Events Only" access: it can add games but can't read anything in your calendar.
TIMES THAT KEEP UP
Many tip-off times aren't announced until the season is underway. Games without a time show their date and "Time TBD." When new times come out, an Update Now banner brings them in, and any conference tournament or postseason games you've added yourself are kept.
YOUR LISTS FOLLOW YOU
Sign in to iCloud and your lists, your favorite team, and your calendar records appear on every iPhone and iPad you use. Nothing to set up, nothing to pay, and the switch is on the Schedule tab if you'd rather keep a device on its own.
MADE FOR iPHONE DUO AND iPAD
Unfold an iPhone Duo and hold it wide, or turn your iPad sideways: the countdown stays on the left, with Schedule and Calendar on the right. Everywhere else, it looks just as it always has.
MADE YOURS
- Star a favorite team and open it from the Shortcuts app
- Add, edit, or remove games, including tournament and neutral-site games
- Back up a schedule to Files and bring it back any time
- A live scores ticker runs across the top
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your lists are saved on your device, with optional iCloud sync across your own devices.
Schedules and times come from public sources and can change, so check your team's official site before you head out. Courtside Countdown is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any college, university, athletic conference, or governing body. Team colors are fan-made color combinations only; no logos or marks are used.
