# Match night checklist — screen, snacks and seats sorted Even with the screen and the stream sorted, a match night can fall flat when the snacks run out, the drinks warm up and there aren't enough seats. This list covers everything from the broadcast and the screen to pizza, ice and scarves, and with a room code everyone ticks off their own share. No sign-up needed. **In short:** A match night at home needs a working broadcast, a TV or projector, an HDMI cable, a speaker, enough seats, chips, popcorn, pizza, chicken wings, cold drinks, ice, jerseys and scarves. Test the broadcast the day before, portion the cold snacks onto plates in advance and serve the hot food at half-time so nobody misses the game. ## What's on the list ### General - Match broadcast (channel or stream) — test it beforehand - TV or projector - HDMI cable - Speaker or sound system - Extension cord - Seating — cushions and extra chairs - Pizza — order or bake - Plates, napkins and bin bags - Jerseys and scarves - Score prediction slips ### Sweets & snacks - Chips - Popcorn and nuts ### Meat & fish - Chicken wings or nuggets ### Fruit & vegetables - Veggie sticks and dip ### Drinks - Cold drinks - Ice - Water ## Tips - Test the broadcast the day before so the channel login, subscription and internet speed aren't left to the last minute. - Portion the cold snacks onto plates in advance and serve the hot ones (pizza, wings) at half-time, so nobody misses the game. - Arrange the seating around the screen so everyone can see it, and keep the speaker from being too loud. - Give your neighbors a heads-up beforehand; a short warning goes a long way when the goals start. ## Frequently asked questions ### How many snacks do you need per person for a match night? Roughly a handful of chips or nuts, two or three slices of pizza and a few wings or veggie sticks per person is a good start. Keep a spare bag of chips and extra drinks in case the match runs long. ### What should you watch for with picture and sound when watching a match at home? Keep the screen away from daylight glare, arrange the seating around it and keep the speaker at a level that doesn't drown out conversation. Testing the broadcast and the HDMI connection beforehand avoids last-minute surprises. ### What should a guest bring to a match night? Often a snack, drinks or ice; check with the host first so the same thing isn't bought twice. A team jersey or scarf adds to the atmosphere. ### Can I change the list? Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories. ### Do I need an account? No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup. ### How long is the list kept? As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock. ### Can I install it on my phone? Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap. --- [Start a room with this list](https://ortakliste.app/en/list/match-night-checklist) — 17 items go straight into your new room; delete what you don't need, add what's missing.
