Team-M8tes Brings Fandom to the Forefront of Modern Dating
The spirit of Team-M8tes™: Bringing sports fans together across teams, cities, and identities to cheer louder—together
Cheer Louder with a Partner
More than a match: Team-M8tes™ connects fans at the heart of the action—right in the stands, concessions in hand, and sparks flying.
A first-of-its-kind dating app for all sports fans, Team-M8tes™ connects people through shared fandom, stadium check-ins, and the perfect game-day date.
Built around the idea that fandom runs deeper than bios and profile pics, Team-M8tes allows users to lock in their favorite teams, check in at games or sports bars, and match with others who cheer just as loud. Whether you’re a diehard season ticket holder, a transplant repping your squad in a rival city, or a casual fan who never misses a big game, the app provides a one-of-a-kind platform for building real relationships through team spirit.
“With millions of single adults attending games, tailgates, and watch parties every year, we saw a massive opportunity to turn those moments into meaningful connections,” said Justin Jones, founder of SNG LABS. “Team-M8tes is more than just a dating app — it’s a fan-first relationship engine.”
Users can choose from tiered team plans, locking in their true allegiances with no option to change — a feature designed to promote authenticity and eliminate fake fandom. Safety is also a priority: features like “I’m at the game” check-ins encourage safe, convenient first encounters in public venues like arenas, stadiums, and trusted team bars.
Team-M8tes goes beyond just team logos and profile pics. Users can highlight their game day preferences — including alcohol or THC consumption, favorite concession stand go-to’s (with gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian options), and even their personal walk-up song. These features offer a richer, more honest snapshot of each user’s fan lifestyle, helping spark conversations that matter from the start.
After all, sports and relationships have a lot in common — both require loyalty, chemistry, and showing up even when things get tough. Team-M8tes is built to help fans find someone who matches their energy not just on game day, but every day.
The opportunity is massive:
According to Pew Research and Statista, over 50 million adults in the U.S. use dating apps — and nearly 170 million identify as sports fans. With even a fraction of that overlap, the addressable market for a platform like Team-M8tes is both untapped and powerful.
The app is currently in late-stage development and expected to launch soon. SNG Labs is actively seeking strategic partners, media collaborators, and licensing opportunities to help accelerate its rollout and reach fans everywhere.
Key Highlights:
Patent-backed matchmaking system based on team loyalty
Stadium and bar check-ins to enable safe, organic meetups
Tiered team selection to maintain fandom integrity
Designed for diehards, casual fans, transplants, and travelers alike
Built to support all sports — from football and hockey to women’s basketball and soccer
Lifestyle-driven profile questions to spark deeper connection
While dating is at the core, Jones hints at bigger ambitions: “The vision is to build a full community around sports passion — for relationships, friendships, and fan meetups that start online and come to life in the real world.”
