Invite players and share a game
Fill your Xsporty game: share it on WhatsApp or Instagram with a visual card, send it to a group chat, copy the link and invite players.

A game only works when it's full. Here's every way to get players into yours.
Share the game
Tap Share on the game page. You'll see a preview of the share card and the options:
- Share on WhatsApp — the game's details, a short link like app.xsporty.com/e/abc123, and a visual card with the photo and the players already in.
- Share on Instagram — a story-sized card. The link is copied for you; add a Link sticker and paste it.
- Share on social media — your phone's share sheet.
- Send to an XSporty group — the game lands in your group chats as a live card with a Join button.
- Copy link — paste it anywhere.
Anyone who opens the link sees the game — in the app if they have it, in the web app if they don't — and can join in a minute without downloading anything.
Invite from the app
Tap Invite Friends on the game (or Invite players while creating it) and choose Invite from App. Your friends — the people you follow and who follow you — are listed first, and you can search anyone on Xsporty by name. Invited players get a notification card with Accept and Decline. An invitation from an organizer counts as approval, so invited players join directly even on approval-required games.
Invite from contacts
Invite from Contacts matches your phone's contacts: those already on Xsporty get an in-app invitation, and everyone else gets a text with the download link. Your contacts stay on your phone and are never uploaded.
Groups and regulars
Create a group with the people you play with and link your game to it. Every member is invited when you publish — and for recurring games, every week. See Groups and Recurring games. Holding a spot for someone specific? See Held spots and co-admins.
Reach players you don't know yet
Games set to Open or Approval required show up in the Home feed of players nearby whose sport, level, distance and dates match, and in search — and players with a matching game alert are notified the moment you publish. A clear name, the right level tag and a cover photo make players tap. See Who can join a game.
Frequently asked questions
Do invited players need the app?
No. The link opens in the web app, where they can create an account and join. The app adds notifications.
What does the share card look like?
A landscape card with the game's photo, the Xsporty wordmark and the avatars of players already in. Instagram gets a story-sized version with the title, time and place.
Why isn't my game showing up for other players?
Check that Who can join isn't Invite only, that the date is in the future, and that the sport and level are set. Players also filter by distance from their area.
