# FlexMatch matchmaking events
<a name="match-events"></a>

Amazon GameLift Servers FlexMatch emits events for each matchmaking ticket as it is processed. You can publish these events to an Amazon SNS topic, as described in [Set up FlexMatch event notifications](match-notification.md). These events are also emitted to Amazon CloudWatch Events in near real time and on a best-effort basis.

This topic describes the structure of FlexMatch events and provides an example for each event type. For more information on matchmaking ticket statuses, see [MatchmakingTicket](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/gamelift/latest/apireference/API_MatchmakingTicket.html) in the *Amazon GameLift Servers API Reference*.
