Steps:
- Submit your match requests for streaming directly to the Frogbox support team here. Please view the submitting match requests help article for more information on submitting match requests using PlayHQ. Please note:
- Match requests must be submitted at least 5 days before the match date
- All the games must have a date and start time allocated on the PHQ fixture
