Assigning a Venue to a Match in LIGR Live links a physical location to your fixture, so venue details can appear in your broadcast graphics and match records.
Before You Start
Before you can assign a Venue to a Match, make sure you have:
• Created at least one Venue under the Assets tab
• Created the Competition the Match will sit under
• Created the two Teams playing in the Match
If you haven't set up a Venue yet, you'll need to add one in the Assets section before it becomes available to select during Match creation.

Tips
• Create all your regularly used Venues in the Assets tab first. This makes Match setup much faster.
• Keep Venue names clear and consistent (for example, include the city or ground name) so operators can quickly pick the correct one from the dropdown.
• If your Theme includes a Venue field in its graphics, double-check the Venue is assigned before your Match goes live.
Common Issues
The Venue I want isn't in the dropdown The Venue hasn't been created yet. Go to the Assets tab, open the Venues section, and add it before returning to the Match setup.
The Venue isn't showing in my graphics Check that your Theme or Theme Instance supports a Venue field. Not all graphics are configured to display Venue information.
I can't change the Venue on a live Match Venue changes are best made before the Match starts. If the Match is already in the Control Room, update the Venue in the Match settings and confirm the change is reflected in your overlays.
