You bring the streams. We route them.
Auto-switching for your sports streams. Paste in links to the games you're watching. HotRoute flips your screen to whichever game has your fantasy players, your favorite players or a close finish on the field, and away from every commercial.
Like RedZone, but for any sports stream you have.
Free during the beta. NFL and NBA today.
Watch it route
A simulated Sunday, early window. Four of your players on the field at once, then three, then two. Every box change is HotRoute deciding, not you.
Your screen
Every game HotRoute is watching
Paste. Pick. Watch.
-
Paste your stream links
The links you already watch with, per game or per team, with backups. If one dies, HotRoute moves to the next.
-
Pick your players
Import your fantasy league or pick the players you follow. HotRoute reads every game's play-by-play to know who's on the field.
-
Your screen switches automatically
One box or six. HotRoute switches, splits and hands the sound to the biggest moment. You just watch.
Route by who you follow
- Your fantasy team
- Watch every snap your fantasy players play. When they're on the field, their game is on your screen. When they're off, you're routed to the next stream that matters. Live fantasy points ride along in the ticker.
- Players you follow
- Pick players you love watching, on any team, football or basketball. HotRoute follows them from game to game: on when they check in, off when they sit. Your fantasy team always comes first.
- Crossover
- No team needed. Add links to the games you want and HotRoute crosses over to another one at every timeout and commercial, football and basketball on the same screen.
- Clutch Time
- Only the finishes: games in the last five minutes and within one score, rotated at every break. In basketball, the NBA's own definition.
A Sunday, routed
Early window to late window, the way a full slate plays out. The lit box has the big screen and the sound.
-
Early games kick off. Chase, Barkley, Jefferson and Allen are on the field in four different games. HotRoute opens a quad box.
-
Green Bay goes to commercial. The quad becomes three boxes and Chase's drive takes the big one.
-
Allen reaches the red zone. After a three-second countdown Buffalo takes the big box and the sound. Press Esc to stay.
-
Halftime in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Down to two boxes: only the games where your players are on the field.
-
Late window. Lamb takes the field in Dallas while Wembanyama checks in for the Spurs: football and basketball, side by side.
-
Your players are done for the day. Clutch Time finds the last close finish and puts it on the big screen.
Built for gameday
- No spoilers
- Streams run behind live TV. Scores, the ticker and fantasy points wait for your video, so nothing changes before you see it.
- Gets there first
- HotRoute reads each play from a faster feed, about six seconds ahead of the regular scoreboard, so it switches before the moment reaches your stream.
- Up to six games at once
- One game, a split, three, four or six boxes. The biggest moment gets the big box and the sound.
- Watch with friends
- Combine your team with your friends' on one screen. Every player is marked in their owner's color.
- Every switch has a reason
- The switch log says why a game came on or went off, so nothing feels random.
- Made for the couch
- Shortcuts work from a TV remote: pin a game, cancel a switch, change mode, go full screen.
Questions
Does HotRoute provide the streams?
No. HotRoute is a router, not a streaming service. You add the streams you already have access to, and HotRoute decides which ones play, where and when.
Which sports?
NFL and NBA today, on the same screen. Soccer is planned.
Do I need a fantasy team?
No. Follow favorite players, or just add game links and let Crossover switch between them at every break.
Which fantasy leagues work?
ESPN (public and private) and Sleeper, for football and basketball. Any other league works by adding your players by hand. Yahoo is planned.
What does it cost?
Nothing during the beta.
What do I need to watch?
A computer with Chrome, Edge or Firefox, and HotRoute's free browser helper, which starts each stream and moves the sound to the main game. To watch on a TV, connect the computer to it. Smart-TV browsers can't run the helper.
Is my ESPN login safe?
For a private league, the helper asks before it reads a one-time sign-in token from your browser. The token imports your roster once and is deleted. HotRoute never sees your password.
