# Lineup

Within the `/actions` websocket, we have a specific fixtureActionType packet for 'Lineups'. This will notify a user of the starting lineup & substitutes information prior to a match KO. Typically this can come in anytime within 1 hour of Kick off.

In the soccer example below, there is a `startingLineup` which includes the start 11 players and then the `substitutes` for the players on the bench. Typically this is used by onward consumers of the data to display a team list and is often important information for both Betting Operators/Traders and Media customers.
