Registrations to join the Nintendo Switch Sports Online Play Test are now open

Nintendo have announced that registrations for the Nintendo Switch Sports Online Play Test… what a name, are now open, meaning you can register to be in with a chance to play through some of the game this weekend.

It is very important to note that registering for the Online Play Test does not mean you will get entry into it, as entry will be randomly awarded. Also, if you and your friends do happen to gain entry, there is no way to schedule matches with your friends, they will all be random.

Unlike other network tests that take place, this one is running in some very narrow windows, about 45 minutes in length each. If you get in, you can sample the game across the five windows, the times for them are:
