Lasting Appeal

These games are often televised or streamed during peak hours with maximum audience reach, great for teams and sponsors.
Playing in a Schedule 1 slot can boost a team’s reputation, especially if it’s the opening game or a featured matchup.
More viewers mean higher ad revenue, ticket sales (if applicable), and merchandise opportunities.
Winning a big opening or prime-time game can set a positive tone for the rest of the season or tournament.
Fans are more likely to tune in, interact on social media, and build hype around marquee matchups.

The spotlight can be nerve-wracking for players and coaches, leading to performance anxiety.
Teams in these slots are expected to deliver a good performance — poor showings can result in harsh criticism.
Every mistake or controversy gets magnified due to the larger audience and media presence.
Schedule 1 games might be placed at unusual times (like very early or late in a season) that disrupt a team’s usual rhythm or preparation.
Constantly featuring the same teams in prime slots can lead to viewer fatigue and diminish novelty for fans.
