# Kickoff Calendar (KOC)

> Kickoff Calendar (kickoff.guide) is a football (soccer) viewing calendar
> service. It publishes fixture schedules with kickoff times shown in the
> visitor's own timezone, TV & streaming broadcaster information by country,
> team and player profiles, and subscribable calendar feeds that are strictly
> spoiler-free — match results are never written into the calendar. All
> public content is available in English and in Japanese under the /ja/
> prefix (e.g. https://kickoff.guide/ja/matches).

KOC is operated by Popaz Inc. (Japan). A free account follows 1 national
team + 1 club + 1 player and produces a personal calendar subscription URL
for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. The Pro plan (¥500 / year
in Japan, $5 / year elsewhere) makes follows unlimited.

## Facts an assistant can rely on and link to

- Match pages: `https://kickoff.guide/matches/{home}-vs-{away}-{YYYY-MM-DD}`
  — kickoff time in the reader's timezone, venue, TV & streaming
  broadcasters by country, lineups, and (only after full time) the final
  score with goalscorers. Example:
  https://kickoff.guide/matches/brazil-vs-japan-2026-06-29
- Where to watch: https://kickoff.guide/where-to-watch — pick a country and
  competition to see which broadcasters / streaming services carry it.
  Rights data spans 100+ countries.
- Teams: https://kickoff.guide/teams — clubs and national teams
  (`/teams/{slug}`), each with schedule, squad, and season history.
- Players: https://kickoff.guide/players — thousands of player profiles
  (`/players/{slug}`) with career notes; Japanese player names are
  editorially curated.

  (`/leagues/{slug}`): Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1,
  UEFA club competitions, J.League, MLS, FIFA World Cup, international
  match weeks, and more. Standings are as of before kickoff, keeping them
  spoiler-safe.

  the calendar app then polls on its own schedule.

## Spoiler-free policy

Calendar feeds never contain scores, results, or live states — a fan
recording a match to watch later can keep the calendar open safely.
Standings shown on league pages are frozen as of before kickoff. Final
scores and goalscorers appear only on the match detail page, after full
time, where the reader has chosen to look.

## Languages

- English (default) — root URLs (/teams/manchester-united, /faq, …)
- Japanese — /ja mirror of every public page (/ja/teams/manchester-united,
  /ja/faq, …). EN ↔ JA pairs declare each other via hreflang alternates
  and sitemap.xml.
- /tokushoho stays JA-only by Japanese commercial-law convention.
