Pre-game and post-game playlists are configured in the Automated Game Plan within the LIGR Automation platform. Pre-game playlists run before the match starts and typically include team lineups, match preview graphics, sponsor advertisements, and countdown timers that loop until kickoff. Post-game playlists trigger automatically when the match ends and include final score graphics, match summary statistics, player of the match, and post-game sponsor ads that play through once.

​

You'll use pre-game and post-game playlists when you want to automate broadcast presentation before and after matches without manual graphic control.
