The main problem in sports scheduling is to determine the date and the venue in which each game of a tournament will be played. Applications are found in the scheduling of tournaments of sports such as football, baseball, basketball, cricket, and hockey. Preparing a playing schedule is becoming more complex as it becomes harder to balance the objectives of maximising revenue (broadcast and venue); maximising travel efficiencies; maintaining “competitive fairness” and accommodating the needs of a diverse group of constituents that includes fans, coaches, players, media, sponsors and facility owners and operators. This paper provides an introductory review of fundamental problems in sports scheduling and their formulations in professional leagues of different sports disciplines such as football, baseball, basketball, cricket, and hockey.
