HoopingNow

HoopingNow is a free basketball app built by hoopers for hoopers, helping players across the UAE find games and connect with their local basketball community. With most games currently in Dubai and courts mapped nationwide, users can browse open runs, hosted games, team matchups, tournaments and leagues. Players can filter games by time, skill level and court, check the lineup, and tap to join. The app supports formats from 1v1 to 5v5, with options for players who do not have a team.

Hoopers can also host their own runs by setting the court, time, available spots, skill level and price. Hosts manage lineups, check-ins and game chat, while players receive updates and reminders. For organized competition, teams can register for tournaments and leagues, with hosts managing brackets, scores and prize pools through the app. HoopingNow also features player cards, ratings, highlights and community content. The app is available on iPhone and Android. It lists games but does not book courts; hosts arrange court bookings directly with venues.
