We’re different because we take your search as seriously as you do. Our discerning application process keeps the community well-balanced, highly engaged, and full of high-powered (and empowered) people committed to finding love.

At the League, we provide a highly curated experience where members are introduced to a limited daily number of high-potential matches, leading to IRL connections and onto a meaningful relationship.

Over half of League members went to top 40 colleges, 30% have advanced degrees, and a quarter are in Executive or Director roles in their professions. The League strongly believes that three quality matches are better than 100 bad ones. So keep those standards sky-high— because a Leaguer would rather be single than settle.

Ah, the all-powerful League matching algorithm. Wondering how it works and how you can make it work best for you? Let’s review:

Every day at Happy Hour (5pm local time), you’ll receive profiles to review on the Scout tab. We do our very best to only show you to people who meet your preferences, AND where you meet theirs, prioritized by those with whom we think you will have the highest compatibility–we don’t believe in wasting anyone’s time! The number of potentials you see daily is calculated primarily based on your subscription tier. Still, that number is also dependent on the size of our community in your area as well as your preferences.

Behavioral data and years of experience creating successful matches allow The League to make additional recommendations for you based on more than just your preferences. For example, set a goal to become Pickleball World Champion? You just might find your practice partner and soulmate in your next Batch based on that shared goal.

In an ongoing effort to foster a highly engaged community, a user who likes everyone but never messages will be deprioritized in the matching algorithm. This lack of communication on the app will also impact your flakiness score, and ‘Flakes’ will eventually get kicked out! On the other hand, users who log in daily have a higher match rate, so check the app often.

So now that you know how the algorithm works, how can you get more matches? First, make sure you have a complete profile and 6 high-quality photos. Your first photo is your first impression, so make sure it’s your best one!

Next, be open-minded. Your height/age/distance preferences may be causing you to filter out ‘THE ONE,’ not to mention narrowing your dating pool. We recommend being as inclusive as possible. And the more people you like, the higher your chances of matching.

We require you to authenticate your account to receive free access to The League as a Member. LinkedIn is our preferred method for verification, as we can automatically import your education and profession for you. You will not see LI contacts, and we’ll hide you from your coworkers. (Do you want to see your boss on a dating app? We didn’t think so.) We will not show any LinkedIn data outside of your education and profession, and you can control what data is visible on your profile. To do this, go to Edit Profile then Education or Profession and tap the green eye icons signifying ‘visible’ to make them hidden. 

Alternatively, we offer Doximity, an edu email verification, or corporate email address verification as alternate authentication methods.

Your safety is a top priority to us. It is at the core of the way we design, build and provide our services to you, including features you use to interact with others on The League like chat. To help keep you safe, we use a combination of automated tools and trained human agents to review these interactions and act against those who are engaging in harmful or illegal behavior. See below a description of some of the actions we take to help keep you safe:

1. To find instances of harmful or illegal behavior, we use automated tools to scan interactions happening on The League and also enable you and other members to report such behavior to us.
2. Once an issue is raised through a member report or our automated tools, our trained agents can review interactions between member as needed to investigate the matter and decide on the actions to take, which may include removing content, banning the member and/or notifying the appropriate law enforcement resources.

As part of our continuous efforts to improve the safety of our users, we use interactions between users to evaluate, train and improve our automated tools.

To support daily business and technical operations
Operating The League involves a lot of daily business and technical operations, including hosting data securely, providing you with good customer care support, operating advertising and marketing campaigns, understanding what users like or dislike about our services so we can make them better, performing research and development, facilitating payments, managing revenue and accounting, fighting against spam, abuse, fraud and similar harmful behaviors, legal support and others. We share information about you with affiliated Match Group companies so they can help us perform some of these daily operations as our service providers.

To help keep you and others safe
We share and receive information about you with/across Match Group companies to aid us in our efforts to keep you safe. This enables us to do things like:

• Investigate, identify and take action against (e.g. ban) fake accounts, spam, abuse, fraud and other wrongdoings across Match Group services.
• Identify and combat potential discrimination or bias, by improving our ability to check the design and usage of Match Group services against discriminatory or biased outcomes.
• Work with law enforcement when we suspect things such as fraud or harmful or illegal activity, or to help prevent death or imminent bodily harm.

To personalize your experience on Match Group services (where and as allowed by applicable law)
If you’re using more than one Match Group service, sharing your information with other Match Group companies allows us to personalize your experience on Hinge and across these services. This personalization includes, for example, the prices and discounts you’ll experience on the Match Group services you use. For instance, the prices and discounts you may see for our service may vary, based on the fact that you also use another Match Group service or used a paid feature on that other service.

To understand how people use Match Group services 
Sharing information helps us understand how people use Match Group services, for instance by more accurately counting the number of unique registered, active or paid users across Match Group services, how many Match Group services they use on average, how people go from one to the other, and how usage patterns might differ.

The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a European Union (EU) regulation that requires online platforms to provide a dedicated report flow for EU users to report illegal content under EU or Member State law. 

Content that violates our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, or is illegal will be removed from our platform. Per our policies, additional action may be taken against the account responsible for the prohibited content. 

EU Users: If you find content you believe is illegal, please submit a report through the in-app report option by clicking Report Illegal Content under Settings>Support. Alternatively, EU users may report illegal content by clicking HERE.

In your report, please provide the following information to help us promptly identify the content at issue and take action on your report, including: 

• how the content is illegal
• how we can locate the content being reported
• any other additional information that could be helpful (including screenshots or attachments)

If there is not enough information to identify the reported content, we may be unable to take action on the report. 

Non-EU Users – Users outside the EU are encouraged to report illegal or prohibited content through the in-app reporting options available on the profile where the content is also located. You can click on the Flag icon in the lower-left corner of the user profile you are reporting and tell us why you are flagging them by clicking “Other” and giving us details.  You may also email Safety@TheLeague.com with the details of why you are reporting.

This should be particularly rare on The League, but if you find this is the case, we want to know about it. The first step is to tap the ‘Flag’ icon on the user’s profile and select the appropriate reason. Next, let the Concierge know so we can verify the issue and take appropriate action.

You should feel comfortable using the ‘Flag’ icon freely for users who are rude, have low-quality profiles, or make you feel unsafe so we can remove them from The League community.

Expire: This will end the conversation you have with a match. If you change your mind and the feeling is mutual, you and the match may be able to ‘Rematch’ at a later date.

Block: Blocking a user will end the conversation and never allow you or your match to see or communicate with one another on the app again, with the exception of Groups and Events.  That is a public forum where all users congregate; think of walking into a bar, and you may run into that ex.

Flag: This option behaves much like a block, but it also alerts The League team to review this person’s profile for whatever activity prompted you to Flag them. Again, with the exception of Groups and Events. That is a public forum where all users congregate; think of walking into a bar, and you may run into that ex.

Some of the events are League-sponsored, but not all! We’ll be sure to tell you if they are, but many of the events you’ll find on the app have been imported via Eventbrite or Meetup or created by subscribing League members.The League app is a great place to promote and increase awareness of your events, so if you’re hosting one that you’d like to share with the League community, we hope you will! Note: The League is not responsible for any event that is not League-Sponsored.
