Before you start

  • You need the season you want fans to see first, in the same sport as your current one. Here: Winter 2027, next to Fall 2026. See Create your first season and teams.
  • The public season is the one your website opens on: its standings and stats show first. Each sport has one. With divisions, each division has its own.

Steps

  1. Step 1: In the left menu, click Seasons & playoffs.

    Your seasons are listed. The Public season tag shows the one fans see first; here Fall 2026. Winter 2027 is Active: live and reachable, but not what your site opens on.

Common questions

Can more than one season be public?
One per sport. If you use divisions, each division has its own public season, and the box says which division you’re changing.
What happens to the old public season?
It stays active: fans can still browse its schedule, standings and stats. When it’s over, open it and turn off Active. It becomes a past season: still on your site, but never what it opens on.
Why can’t I turn off Active or hide the public season?
Your site has to open on something. The public season is always active and can’t be hidden: make another season public first.
Why can’t I make a season public?
If it’s already the public season, the button isn’t there. If it’s hidden from your site, the button is greyed out: turn off Hide from public site on its Setup tab first. A hidden season can’t be public.
Is there a quicker way from the list?
Yes. In Seasons & playoffs, click ··· at the end of the season’s row and choose Make it the public season…. The same box opens.
